Radeon R7 360 vs Radeon R9 M380

Intro

The Radeon R7 360 features a core clock speed of 1050 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1625 MHz. It also makes use of a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It features 768 SPUs, 48 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 M380, which features core clock speeds of 1000 MHz on the GPU, and 1500 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon R7 360 should theoretically be a little bit superior to the Radeon R9 M380 overall. (explain)

Radeon R7 360 104000 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M380 96000 MB/sec
Difference: 8000 (8%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 360 should be a lot (about 26%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R9 M380. (explain)

Radeon R7 360 50400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M380 40000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 10400 (26%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R7 360 should be a little bit (about 5%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon R9 M380, and capable of handling higher screen resolutions without slowing down too much. (explain)

Radeon R7 360 16800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M380 16000 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 800 (5%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount 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 texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
