GeForce GTX 950M vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R7 M360, which comes with core clock speeds of 1125 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM. It features 384 SPUs along with 24 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the GeForce GTX 950M should be quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 M360 overall. (explain)

GeForce GTX 950M		32000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 16000 (100%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce GTX 950M will be quite a bit (more or less 35%) better at AF than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

GeForce GTX 950M		36560 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 9560 (35%)

Pixel Rate

The GeForce GTX 950M will be a lot (more or less 62%) more effective at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R7 M360, and able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

GeForce GTX 950M		14624 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 5624 (62%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better 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 can be processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
