Radeon R7 360 vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon R7 M360, which features a clock speed of 1125 MHz and a DDR3 memory speed of 1000 MHz. It also uses a 64-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 384 SPUs, 24 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon R7 360 should be quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		104000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 88000 (550%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 360 is a lot (approximately 87%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		50400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 23400 (87%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R7 360 is superior to the Radeon R7 M360, by far. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		16800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 7800 (87%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be 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 better this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number 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 filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
