Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon R7 260X should theoretically be a lot better than the Radeon R9 M365X in general. (explain)

Radeon R7 260X		104000 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 32000 (44%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 260X will be much (about 66%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R9 M365X. (explain)

Radeon R7 260X		61600 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 24600 (66%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R7 260X is superior to the Radeon R9 M365X, though only just barely. (explain)

Radeon R7 260X		17600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2800 (19%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units 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 fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
