Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition, which makes use of a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1680 MHz. The GDDR6 memory works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular model. It features 2560 SPUs as well as 160 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		235 Watts
Radeon Pro Duo		350 Watts
	Difference: 115 Watts (49%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon Pro Duo should in theory be quite a bit better than the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition in general. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		1024000 MB/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		458752 MB/sec
	Difference: 565248 (123%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo should be much (about 90%) more effective at AF than the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		268800 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 243200 (90%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo should be a bit (more or less 19%) better at AA than the Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition, and should be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition		107520 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 20480 (19%)

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 largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at 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 write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
