Radeon HD 7950 vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

The Radeon HD 7950 has a GPU core clock speed of 800 MHz, and the 1536 MB of GDDR5 memory is set to run at 1250 MHz through a 384-bit bus. It also is made up of 1792 Stream Processors, 112 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Compare all of that to the Radeon R7 M360, which has a core clock speed of 1125 MHz and a DDR3 memory frequency of 1000 MHz. It also makes use of a 64-bit memory bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 384 SPUs, 24 Texture Address Units, and 8 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon HD 7950 should be much faster than the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)

Radeon HD 7950 240000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360 16000 MB/sec
Difference: 224000 (1400%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon HD 7950 is quite a bit (more or less 232%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

Radeon HD 7950 89600 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360 27000 Mtexels/sec
Difference: 62600 (232%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon HD 7950 will be quite a bit (more or less 184%) better at AA than the Radeon R7 M360, and should be capable of handling higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon HD 7950 25600 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360 9000 Mpixels/sec
Difference: 16600 (184%)

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 information (measured in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling 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 the video card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
