GeForce GT 210 vs Radeon R9 M365X

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 M365X, which features a GPU core clock speed of 925 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1125 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 640 Stream Processors, 40 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon R9 M365X should theoretically be a lot better than the GeForce GT 210 in general. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		72000 MB/sec
GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 59200 (463%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M365X should be much (more or less 685%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 32288 (685%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R9 M365X will be quite a bit (more or less 528%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 210, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 12444 (528%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka 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 - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
