GeForce 825M vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

The GeForce 825M uses a 28 nm design. nVidia has clocked the core frequency at 850 MHz. The DDR3 RAM runs at a speed of 900 MHz on this particular card. It features 384 SPUs as well as 16 TAUs and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare those specs to the Radeon R7 M360, which comes with GPU core speed of 1125 MHz, and 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM set to run at 1000 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is comprised of 384 Stream Processors, 24 TAUs, and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon R7 M360 should be 11% quicker than the GeForce 825M in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360 16000 MB/sec
GeForce 825M 14400 MB/sec
Difference: 1600 (11%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 is a lot (more or less 99%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 825M. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360 27000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 825M 13600 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 13400 (99%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 should be quite a bit (about 32%) faster with regards to anti-aliasing than the GeForce 825M, and capable of handling higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360 9000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 825M 6800 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 2200 (32%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video 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 can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
