Radeon R7 240 vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

The Radeon R7 240 uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 730 MHz. The DDR3 RAM is set to run at a frequency of 900 MHz on this model. It features 320 SPUs along with 20 TAUs and 8 ROPs.

Compare those specs to the Radeon R7 M360, which features core speeds of 1125 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM. It features 384 SPUs as well as 24 Texture Address Units and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R7 240 is 80% quicker than the Radeon R7 M360 in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon R7 240 28800 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360 16000 MB/sec
Difference: 12800 (80%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 will be a lot (more or less 85%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R7 240. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360 27000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 240 14600 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 12400 (85%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R7 M360 is superior to the Radeon R7 240, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360 9000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 240 5840 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 3160 (54%)

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.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units 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 in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
