Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon R7 M360 should be much faster than the GeForce GT 210 overall. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 3200 (25%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 is quite a bit (more or less 473%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 22288 (473%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 will be quite a bit (about 282%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GT 210, and capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 6644 (282%)

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 information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, 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 number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
