Radeon R7 370 4G vs Radeon RX 6650 XT

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 6650 XT, which has a core clock frequency of 2055 MHz and a GDDR6 memory speed of 2190 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 7 nm design. It features 2048 SPUs, 128 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon R7 370 4G		179200 MB/sec
	Difference: 107872 (60%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6650 XT should be a lot (more or less 322%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 370 4G. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		263040 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 370 4G		62400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 200640 (322%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 6650 XT is much (approximately 322%) better at FSAA than the Radeon R7 370 4G, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon RX 6650 XT		131520 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 370 4G		31200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 100320 (322%)

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 largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out 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 amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write 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 speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
