Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon R7 M360 should be quite a bit faster than the GeForce GT 210 in general. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 should be quite a bit (more or less 473%) better at texture filtering 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 is quite a bit (more or less 282%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GT 210, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (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: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
