What is a Gortex fabric specifically? I have a 20,000 mm waterproof jacket is that as strong as gortex?

Im wondering if 20,000 or even 10,000 mm waterproof is good waterproofing? Will it keep me warm and the jacket dry in saw a blizzard or light storm say if I’m somewhere like Tahoe, Hood, or Bachelor.
