Radeon HD 5750 512MB vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

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

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon HD 5750 512MB should perform much faster than the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)

Radeon HD 5750 512MB		73600 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 57600 (360%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 should be a small bit (more or less 7%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 5750 512MB. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 5750 512MB		25200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 1800 (7%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon HD 5750 512MB should be a lot (more or less 24%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R7 M360, and capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon HD 5750 512MB		11200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2200 (24%)

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 megabytes per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
