Radeon HD 4350 vs Radeon R9 M365X

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M365X, which has core speeds of 925 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 M365X should be 800% quicker than the Radeon HD 4350 in general, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		72000 MB/sec
Radeon HD 4350		8000 MB/sec
	Difference: 64000 (800%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M365X will be quite a bit (more or less 704%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 4350. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 4350		4600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 32400 (704%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R9 M365X is quite a bit (more or less 543%) more effective at FSAA than the Radeon HD 4350, and capable of handling higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 4350		2300 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 12500 (543%)

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 data (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core 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 applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines 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 rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
