GeForce 930M vs Radeon RX 6650 XT

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 6650 XT, which has a GPU core clock speed of 2055 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 2190 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2048 SPUs, 128 TAUs, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 6650 XT, in theory, should be a lot faster than the GeForce 930M overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		287072 MB/sec
GeForce 930M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 272672 (1894%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6650 XT should be a lot (about 1081%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce 930M. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		263040 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 930M		22272 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 240768 (1081%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6650 XT is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		131520 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 930M		7424 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 124096 (1672%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
