Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon RX 6700 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6700 XT, which features core clock speeds of 2321 MHz on the GPU, and 2000 MHz on the (Unknown) MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2560 SPUs along with 160 Texture Address Units and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		230 Watts
Radeon Pro Duo		350 Watts
	Difference: 120 Watts (52%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon Pro Duo will be 160% faster than the Radeon RX 6700 XT in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		1024000 MB/sec
Radeon RX 6700 XT		393216 MB/sec
	Difference: 630784 (160%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo should be a lot (about 38%) better at AF than the Radeon RX 6700 XT. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 6700 XT		371360 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 140640 (38%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6700 XT is superior to the Radeon Pro Duo, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

Radeon RX 6700 XT		148544 Mpixels/sec
Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 20544 (16%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the 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 can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
