Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5700, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1465 MHz. The GDDR6 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 2304 SPUs along with 144 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

Radeon RX 5700		180 Watts
Radeon Pro Duo		350 Watts
	Difference: 170 Watts (94%)

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon Pro Duo should theoretically be a lot superior to the Radeon RX 5700 overall. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		1024000 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5700		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 565248 (123%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo is much (about 143%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX 5700. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		210960 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 301040 (143%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo will be quite a bit (approximately 37%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon RX 5700, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700		93760 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 34240 (37%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core 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 of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
