Radeon R9 M365X vs Radeon RX 460 2GB

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 460 2GB, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1090 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 896 SPUs as well as 56 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 460 2GB should in theory be quite a bit superior to the Radeon R9 M365X overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 460 2GB		112000 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 40000 (56%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 460 2GB is quite a bit (about 65%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M365X. (explain)

Radeon RX 460 2GB		61040 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 24040 (65%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 460 2GB is superior to the Radeon R9 M365X, but not by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 460 2GB		17440 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2640 (18%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better 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 can be applied per second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock 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 a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated 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 filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
