Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R7 370 2G should be 149% quicker than the Radeon R9 M365X in general, because of its higher data rate. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 2G		179200 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 107200 (149%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 370 2G should be much (more or less 69%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M365X. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 2G		62400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 25400 (69%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R7 370 2G is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 2G		31200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 16400 (111%)

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 largest amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 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 high resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core 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 one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount 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 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 rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
