Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R7 M360 is 11% faster than the GeForce 825M in general, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 is much (approximately 99%) faster with regards to texture 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 will be quite a bit (about 32%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce 825M, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (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.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics 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 amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
