GeForce 830M vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

The GeForce 830M comes with a GPU clock speed of 1029 MHz, and the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM is set to run at 900 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also features 256 Stream Processors, 16 TAUs, and 8 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the Radeon R7 M360, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1125 MHz. The DDR3 RAM works at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this specific card. It features 384 SPUs along with 24 TAUs and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R7 M360 should be a bit faster than the GeForce 830M overall. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360 16000 MB/sec
GeForce 830M 14400 MB/sec
Difference: 1600 (11%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 should be much (approximately 64%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 830M. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360 27000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 830M 16464 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 10536 (64%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 should be a little bit (about 9%) better at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce 830M, and also will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360 9000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 830M 8232 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 768 (9%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
