Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 M375 is 175% faster than the GeForce GT 210 in general, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375		35200 MB/sec
GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 22400 (175%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M375 should be quite a bit (about 762%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375		40600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 35888 (762%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R9 M375 should be much (approximately 589%) faster with regards to full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce GT 210, and also should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375		16240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 13884 (589%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics 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 most pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
