Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon HD 3650 vs Radeon R9 M370X
IntroThe Radeon HD 3650 features a core clock frequency of 725 MHz and a GDDR4 memory speed of 800 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 55 nm design. It features 120(24x5) SPUs, 8 Texture Address Units, and 4 ROPs.Compare that to the Radeon R9 M370X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 800 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 1125 MHz on this specific model. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the Radeon R9 M370X should in theory be a lot superior to the Radeon HD 3650 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M370X should be quite a bit (approximately 452%) more effective at AF than the Radeon HD 3650. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M370X is a better choice, by a large margin. (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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If 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 high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
