Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon RX 460 2GB is 600% quicker than the Radeon R7 M360 overall, because of its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 460 2GB		112000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 96000 (600%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 460 2GB will be quite a bit (approximately 126%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

Radeon RX 460 2GB		61040 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 34040 (126%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 460 2GB is a lot (about 94%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon R7 M360, and also will be capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 460 2GB		17440 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8440 (94%)

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 maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
