Radeon HD 5770 vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R7 M360, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1125 MHz, and 2048 MB of DDR3 memory set to run at 1000 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is comprised of 384 SPUs, 24 TAUs, and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon HD 5770 should in theory be much superior to the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)

Radeon HD 5770		76800 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 60800 (380%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon HD 5770 is much (more or less 26%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

Radeon HD 5770		34000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 7000 (26%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon HD 5770 is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon HD 5770		13600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 4600 (51%)

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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses 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 calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number 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 drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few 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.
