Radeon HD 6670 (OEM) vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R7 M360, which features a clock speed of 1125 MHz and a DDR3 memory frequency of 1000 MHz. It also makes use of a 64-bit memory bus, and makes use of 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 6670 (OEM) is 300% faster than the Radeon R7 M360 overall, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon HD 6670 (OEM)		64000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 48000 (300%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 should be quite a bit (approximately 41%) better at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM). (explain)

Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 6670 (OEM)		19200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 7800 (41%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 should be much (more or less 41%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the Radeon HD 6670 (OEM), and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon HD 6670 (OEM)		6400 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2600 (41%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core 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 output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
