Radeon R7 360 vs Radeon R9 M385X

Intro

The Radeon R7 360 features core clock speeds of 1050 MHz on the GPU, and 1625 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 768 SPUs as well as 48 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 M385X, which features GPU clock speed of 1100 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 RAM set to run at 1500 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 896 Stream Processors, 56 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon R7 360 should in theory be a little bit better than the Radeon R9 M385X overall. (explain)

Radeon R7 360 104000 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M385X 96000 MB/sec
Difference: 8000 (8%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M385X will be quite a bit (about 22%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R7 360. (explain)

Radeon R9 M385X 61600 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 360 50400 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 11200 (22%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M385X is superior to the Radeon R7 360, but not by far. (explain)

Radeon R9 M385X 17600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 360 16800 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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
