GeForce RTX 2070 Super		215 Watts
Radeon RX 6950 XT		335 Watts
	Difference: 120 Watts (56%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 6950 XT is 29% quicker than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 6950 XT		589824 MB/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 131072 (29%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 6950 XT is a lot (more or less 140%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce RTX 2070 Super. (explain)

Radeon RX 6950 XT		616000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		256800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 359200 (140%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 6950 XT is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 6950 XT		246400 Mpixels/sec
GeForce RTX 2070 Super		102720 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 143680 (140%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number 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 rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
