Radeon RX 5700 vs Radeon RX 6700 XT

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6700 XT, which has core clock speeds of 2321 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the (Unknown) MB of GDDR6 memory. It features 2560 SPUs along with 160 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Radeon RX 5700		180 Watts
Radeon RX 6700 XT		230 Watts
	Difference: 50 Watts (28%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 5700 should in theory be just a bit superior to the Radeon RX 6700 XT overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5700		458752 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6700 XT		393216 MB/sec
	Difference: 65536 (17%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT will be much (about 76%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 160400 (76%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6700 XT should be a lot (more or less 58%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon RX 5700, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 54784 (58%)

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 maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
