Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R9 M375X should be a lot faster than the Radeon R7 M360 overall. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375X		72000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 56000 (350%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M375X should be quite a bit (about 50%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375X		40600 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 13600 (50%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M375X is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375X		16240 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 7240 (80%)

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 data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card 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 processed per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in one 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 - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
