Radeon R7 M360 vs Radeon R9 Fury X

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R9 Fury X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1050 MHz. The HBM RAM works at a speed of 500 MHz on this specific card. It features 4096 SPUs as well as 256 TAUs and 64 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon R9 Fury X should be 3100% quicker than the Radeon R7 M360 in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		512000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 496000 (3100%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 Fury X will be a lot (more or less 896%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		268800 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 241800 (896%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 Fury X is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon R9 Fury X		67200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 58200 (647%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
