Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon R7 360 should theoretically be quite a bit superior to the Radeon R9 M365X in general. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		104000 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 32000 (44%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 360 should be quite a bit (approximately 36%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R9 M365X. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		50400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 13400 (36%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R7 360 is superior to the Radeon R9 M365X, but not by far. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		16800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2000 (14%)

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
