Radeon R9 M370X vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon RX 560, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 1175 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 1024 Stream Processors, 64 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 560 is 59% quicker than the Radeon R9 M370X overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 42688 (59%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 will be much (approximately 135%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M370X. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		32000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 43200 (135%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 560 is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		12800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 6000 (47%)

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 past the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

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