GeForce 930M vs Radeon R9 M365X

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon R9 M365X, which comes with clock speeds of 925 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon R9 M365X should be 400% quicker than the GeForce 930M overall, due to its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		72000 MB/sec
GeForce 930M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 57600 (400%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M365X should be quite a bit (more or less 66%) more effective at AF than the GeForce 930M. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 930M		22272 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 14728 (66%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M365X is superior to the GeForce 930M, by far. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 930M		7424 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 7376 (99%)

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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in one second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output 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.
