GeForce GT 130		12000 MB/sec
	Difference: 60000 (500%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M365X will be quite a bit (more or less 208%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the GeForce GT 130. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 130		12000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 25000 (208%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R9 M365X is quite a bit (about 85%) faster with regards to FSAA than the GeForce GT 130, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 130		8000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 6800 (85%)

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 (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. 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, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
