Radeon R7 240 vs Radeon R9 M365X

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon R9 M365X, which features GPU core speed of 925 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1125 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 640 SPUs, 40 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon R9 M365X should theoretically be quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 240 in general. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		72000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 240		28800 MB/sec
	Difference: 43200 (150%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M365X will be quite a bit (more or less 153%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R7 240. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 240		14600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 22400 (153%)

Pixel Rate

If running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M365X is superior to the Radeon R7 240, by far. (explain)

Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 240		5840 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8960 (153%)

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 maximum amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it must 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 AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
