Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon R7 370 2G should theoretically perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon R9 M375 overall. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 2G		179200 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M375		35200 MB/sec
	Difference: 144000 (409%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 370 2G should be much (more or less 54%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M375. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 2G		62400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M375		40600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 21800 (54%)

Pixel Rate

If using lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R7 370 2G is superior to the Radeon R9 M375, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 2G		31200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M375		16240 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 14960 (92%)

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 information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better 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 per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
