Radeon R7 M360 vs Radeon R9 M275X

Intro

The Radeon R7 M360 uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1125 MHz. The DDR3 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1000 MHz on this model. It features 384 SPUs as well as 24 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 M275X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 900 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a speed of 1125 MHz on this model. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon R9 M275X should perform much faster than the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)

Radeon R9 M275X 72000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360 16000 MB/sec
Difference: 56000 (350%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M275X should be much (more or less 33%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

Radeon R9 M275X 36000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360 27000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 9000 (33%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M275X is a better choice, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon R9 M275X 14400 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360 9000 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 5400 (60%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video 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 amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
