Radeon R7 360 vs Radeon R9 M375

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R9 M375, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 1015 MHz. The DDR3 memory runs at a speed of 1100 MHz on this specific card. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon R7 360 should theoretically be quite a bit better than the Radeon R9 M375 in general. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		104000 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M375		35200 MB/sec
	Difference: 68800 (195%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 360 will be quite a bit (about 24%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M375. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		50400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M375		40600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 9800 (24%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R7 360 is a better choice, though only just barely. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		16800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M375		16240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 560 (3%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at 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 can possibly write to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
