Radeon HD 5750 512MB vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare that to the Radeon R7 M360, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1125 MHz. The DDR3 memory works at a speed of 1000 MHz on this particular model. It features 384 SPUs as well as 24 Texture Address Units and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon HD 5750 512MB should perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)

Radeon HD 5750 512MB		73600 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 57600 (360%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 will be a little bit (more or less 7%) more effective at AF than the Radeon HD 5750 512MB. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon HD 5750 512MB		25200 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 1800 (7%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon HD 5750 512MB will be a lot (more or less 24%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon R7 M360, and capable of handling higher resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon HD 5750 512MB		11200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2200 (24%)

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 max amount of information (measured in megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, 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 number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
