Radeon R7 M360 vs Radeon RX 460

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 460, which has GPU clock speed of 1090 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 896 Stream Processors, 56 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 96000 (600%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 460 is much (about 126%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

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

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 460 is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 460		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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, 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 applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
