Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 1GB vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R7 M360, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1125 MHz. The DDR3 memory runs at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this particular card. It features 384 SPUs as well as 24 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 1GB should be much faster than the Radeon R7 M360 overall. (explain)

Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 1GB		64000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 48000 (300%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 should be a lot (more or less 41%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 1GB. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 1GB		19200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 7800 (41%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R7 M360 is superior to the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 1GB, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) 1GB		6400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2600 (41%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This figure is calculated 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 video 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 that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
