Radeon HD 5570 vs Radeon R9 M370X

Intro

The Radeon HD 5570 features a GPU core speed of 650 MHz, and the 512 MB of DDR3 RAM is set to run at 900 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 400(80x5) SPUs, 20 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M370X, which has core clock speeds of 800 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

In theory, the Radeon R9 M370X is 150% faster than the Radeon HD 5570 overall, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon R9 M370X 72000 MB/sec
Radeon HD 5570 28800 MB/sec
Difference: 43200 (150%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M370X should be a lot (more or less 146%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon HD 5570. (explain)

Radeon R9 M370X 32000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 5570 13000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 19000 (146%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R9 M370X will be much (approximately 146%) better at anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 5570, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon R9 M370X 12800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 5570 5200 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 7600 (146%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated 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 also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
