Radeon R7 370 4G vs Radeon R9 M365X

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M365X, which features core clock speeds of 925 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

The Radeon R7 370 4G should be quite a bit (more or less 69%) better at AF than the Radeon R9 M365X. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 4G		62400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 25400 (69%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R7 370 4G is quite a bit (about 111%) better at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 M365X, and also able to handle higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 4G		31200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 16400 (111%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's 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 are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of 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.
