Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 4650 1GB vs Radeon R7 M360
IntroThe Radeon HD 4650 1GB makes use of a 55 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 600 MHz. The GDDR3 RAM is set to run at a speed of 700 MHz on this card. It features 320(64x5) SPUs as well as 32 TAUs and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare that to the Radeon R7 M360, which features a core clock frequency of 1125 MHz and a DDR3 memory speed of 1000 MHz. It also features a 64-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is comprised of 384 SPUs, 24 TAUs, and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon HD 4650 1GB should in theory be much better than the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R7 M360 is quite a bit (about 41%) better at AF than the Radeon HD 4650 1GB. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon R7 M360 is superior to the Radeon HD 4650 1GB, and very much so. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher 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 texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card 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 most pixels the video card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
