Radeon R7 M360 vs Radeon RX Vega 64

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX Vega 64, which features clock speeds of 1247 MHz on the GPU, and 1890 MHz on the 8192 MB of HBM2 RAM. It features 4096 SPUs along with 256 TAUs and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX Vega 64, in theory, should be much faster than the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		495411 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 479411 (2996%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX Vega 64 should be a lot (approximately 1082%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		319232 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 292232 (1082%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX Vega 64 is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX Vega 64		79808 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 70808 (787%)

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 largest amount of information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
