In theory, the Radeon R7 370 2G will be 149% faster than the Radeon R9 M375X overall, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 2G		179200 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 107200 (149%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 370 2G should be quite a bit (approximately 54%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M375X. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 2G		62400 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		40600 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 21800 (54%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R7 370 2G is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Radeon R7 370 2G		31200 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M375X		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: Memory bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It's 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 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the video card could possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.
