Radeon R9 M365X vs Radeon RX 470

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 470, which comes with GPU clock speed of 926 MHz, and 8192 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1650 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is comprised of 2048 Stream Processors, 128 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 470 should in theory be a lot faster than the Radeon R9 M365X in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 470		211200 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 139200 (193%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 470 should be quite a bit (about 220%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R9 M365X. (explain)

Radeon RX 470		118528 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 81528 (220%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 470 is much (more or less 100%) better at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 M365X, and also capable of handling higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 470		29632 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 14832 (100%)

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.

Price Comparison

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock 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 rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
