Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R9 295X2 vs Radeon R9 M375
IntroThe Radeon R9 295X2 has clock speeds of 1018 MHz on the GPU, and 1250 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 2816 SPUs along with 176 TAUs and 64 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 M375, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1015 MHz. The DDR3 memory works at a speed of 1100 MHz on this particular card. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon R9 295X2 is 1718% quicker than the Radeon R9 M375 in general, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 295X2 will be quite a bit (more or less 783%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M375. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon R9 295X2 is the winner, 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. One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of. Price Comparison

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, 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 the video card could possibly record to the 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 the card's clock speed. 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 fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
