Radeon R7 360 vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R7 M360, which makes use of a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 1125 MHz. The DDR3 memory runs at a speed of 1000 MHz on this specific model. It features 384 SPUs as well as 24 TAUs and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon R7 360 should perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 M360 overall. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		104000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 88000 (550%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 360 should be a lot (about 87%) faster with regards to AF than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		50400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 23400 (87%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R7 360 is a better choice, by far. (explain)

Radeon R7 360		16800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 7800 (87%)

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

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface in a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better 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 number of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
