GeForce 810M vs Radeon R7 360

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R7 360, which comes with a clock speed of 1050 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1625 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 768 SPUs, 48 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Power Consumption (Max TDP)

GeForce 810M		15 Watts
Radeon R7 360		100 Watts
	Difference: 85 Watts (567%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R7 360 should perform quite a bit faster than the GeForce 810M overall. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		104000 MB/sec
GeForce 810M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 89600 (622%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 360 should be a lot (more or less 754%) more effective at texture filtering than the GeForce 810M. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		50400 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 810M		5904 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 44496 (754%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R7 360 should be quite a bit (about 469%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce 810M, and also should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		16800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 810M		2952 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 13848 (469%)

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 largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's 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 many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
