Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon RX 5700

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 5700, which comes with core speeds of 1465 MHz on the GPU, and 1750 MHz on the 8096 MB of GDDR6 RAM. It features 2304 SPUs as well as 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

The Radeon Pro Duo should theoretically be quite a bit faster than the Radeon RX 5700 in general. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo is a lot (about 143%) more effective 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

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon Pro Duo is the winner, by a large margin. (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 maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, 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 most pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core 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 fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
