Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R7 M260 vs Radeon R7 M360
IntroThe Radeon R7 M260 uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 715 MHz. The DDR3 memory works at a speed of 1000 MHz on this model. It features 384 SPUs as well as 24 Texture Address Units and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare all that to the Radeon R7 M360, which has GPU clock speed of 1125 MHz, and 2048 MB of DDR3 memory running at 1000 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also features 384 Stream Processors, 24 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthBoth cards have exactly the same bandwidth, so theoretically they should have the same performance. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R7 M360 will be a lot (approximately 57%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M260. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R7 M360 will be a lot (about 57%) better at AA than the Radeon R7 M260, and will be capable of handling higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
