GeForce 930M vs Radeon R7 360

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R7 360, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1050 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1625 MHz on this model. It features 768 SPUs along with 48 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

GeForce 930M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 89600 (622%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 360 is quite a bit (about 126%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 930M. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		50400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 930M		22272 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 28128 (126%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R7 360 will be quite a bit (more or less 126%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce 930M, and should be able to handle higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		16800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 930M		7424 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 9376 (126%)

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: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one 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 graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
