Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R7 240 vs Radeon R9 M365X
IntroThe Radeon R7 240 uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 730 MHz. The DDR3 RAM runs at a frequency of 900 MHz on this particular model. It features 320 SPUs as well as 20 TAUs and 8 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 M365X, which has a core clock frequency of 925 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1125 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 640 SPUs, 40 Texture Address Units, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthThe Radeon R9 M365X should theoretically be quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 240 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M365X is quite a bit (approximately 153%) better at AF than the Radeon R7 240. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M365X is a better choice, 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: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock 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 most pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
