Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon RX 5500 vs Radeon RX 6600
IntroThe Radeon RX 5500 makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1670 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 1408 SPUs along with 88 TAUs and 32 ROPs.Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 6600, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1626 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 1792 SPUs along with 112 Texture Address Units and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthBoth cards have the exact same bandwidth, so theoretically they should perform the same. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 6600 will be a lot (about 24%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon RX 5500. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 6600 is quite a bit (approximately 95%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon RX 5500, and also should be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the 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 can be processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
