Radeon R7 M360 vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon RX 560, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1175 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this particular card. It features 1024 SPUs along with 64 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 560 should theoretically be a lot faster than the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 98688 (617%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 is quite a bit (approximately 179%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 48200 (179%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 560 is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 9800 (109%)

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 (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, it 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, HDR 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 amount of texture units of the card by the core 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 most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
