Radeon HD 5670 vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R7 M360, which features a GPU core clock speed of 1125 MHz, and 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM set to run at 1000 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is made up of 384 Stream Processors, 24 TAUs, and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon HD 5670 should theoretically be quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 M360 overall. (explain)

Radeon HD 5670		64000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 48000 (300%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 will be much (about 74%) more effective at AF than the Radeon HD 5670. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 5670		15500 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 11500 (74%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 should be a lot (more or less 45%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon HD 5670, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 5670		6200 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2800 (45%)

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 data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 are processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write 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 core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). 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 potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
