Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon R9 M375 should in theory be a lot better than the GeForce GT 130 in general. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375		35200 MB/sec
GeForce GT 130		12000 MB/sec
	Difference: 23200 (193%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M375 should be quite a bit (approximately 238%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GT 130. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375		40600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 130		12000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 28600 (238%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M375 is superior to the GeForce GT 130, by far. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375		16240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 130		8000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8240 (103%)

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 maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics 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 that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
