Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce 920M vs Radeon R7 M360
IntroThe GeForce 920M features a GPU core clock speed of 954 MHz, and the 2048 MB of DDR3 memory is set to run at 900 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is made up of 384 Stream Processors, 32 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.Compare all that to the Radeon R7 M360, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1125 MHz. The DDR3 RAM runs at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this particular model. It features 384 SPUs as well as 24 TAUs and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthPerformance-wise, the Radeon R7 M360 should in theory be just a bit superior to the GeForce 920M overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe GeForce 920M is a little bit (about 13%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R7 M360 is the winner, but only just. (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 max amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core 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 applied in a second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number 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 rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
