Radeon R7 360		100 Watts
Radeon RX 5600		150 Watts
	Difference: 50 Watts (50%)

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the Radeon RX 5600 should theoretically be quite a bit superior to the Radeon R7 360 overall. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		294912 MB/sec
Radeon R7 360		104000 MB/sec
	Difference: 190912 (184%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5600 should be a lot (approximately 249%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R7 360. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		176000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 360		50400 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 125600 (249%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5600 is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 5600		88000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 360		16800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 71200 (424%)

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 megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster 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 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 better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

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