Radeon R7 M265 vs Radeon VII

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon VII, which comes with GPU clock speed of 1400 MHz, and 16384 MB of HBM2 RAM running at 1000 MHz through a 4096-bit bus. It also features 3840 Stream Processors, 240 Texture Address Units, and 64 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon VII should theoretically perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 M265 in general. (explain)

Radeon VII		1048576 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M265		32000 MB/sec
	Difference: 1016576 (3177%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon VII will be quite a bit (more or less 1831%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M265. (explain)

Radeon VII		336000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M265		17400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 318600 (1831%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon VII is superior to the Radeon R7 M265, by far. (explain)

Radeon VII		89600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M265		5800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 83800 (1445%)

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 maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 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 texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number 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 is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
