GeForce RTX 3050 vs Radeon Pro Duo

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon Pro Duo, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1000 MHz. The HBM RAM works at a frequency of 500 MHz on this specific card. It features 4096 SPUs along with 256 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce RTX 3050		130 Watts
Radeon Pro Duo		350 Watts
	Difference: 220 Watts (169%)

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon Pro Duo should be a lot faster than the GeForce RTX 3050 overall. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		1024000 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 3050		229376 MB/sec
	Difference: 794624 (346%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo is much (approximately 312%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 3050. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 3050		124160 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 387840 (312%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon Pro Duo is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 3050		49664 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 78336 (158%)

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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past 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 memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core 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 quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
