Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R9 M395X vs Radeon RX 6500 XT
IntroThe Radeon R9 M395X has a GPU clock speed of 723 MHz, and the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM is set to run at 1250 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 6500 XT, which makes use of a 6 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 2200 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM runs at a speed of 2250 MHz on this card. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 TAUs and 32 ROPs.
Display Graphs
Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon R9 M395X should perform just a bit faster than the Radeon RX 6500 XT overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon RX 6500 XT should be much (more or less 52%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R9 M395X. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon RX 6500 XT is a lot (more or less 204%) better at FSAA than the Radeon R9 M395X, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (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 largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must 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 anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units 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 number of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
