Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition should perform just a bit faster than the Radeon RX Vega 64 in general. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		495452 MB/sec
Radeon RX Vega 64		495411 MB/sec
	Difference: 41 (0%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Vega Frontier Edition is a little bit (more or less 11%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon RX Vega 64. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		353792 Mtexels/sec
Radeon RX Vega 64		319232 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 34560 (11%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon Vega Frontier Edition is superior to the Radeon RX Vega 64, but it probably won't make a huge difference. (explain)

Radeon Vega Frontier Edition		88448 Mpixels/sec
Radeon RX Vega 64		79808 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8640 (11%)

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 information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once 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 AA, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video 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 the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
