Radeon RX 5600 vs Radeon RX 6700 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6700 XT, which features clock speeds of 2321 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the (Unknown) MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is quite a bit (about 111%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon RX 5600. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 195360 (111%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT should be quite a bit (approximately 69%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5600, and will be able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 60544 (69%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
