Radeon R7 370 2G vs Radeon R9 M375X

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 M375X, which has core clock speeds of 1015 MHz on the GPU, and 1125 MHz on the 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically speaking, the Radeon R7 370 2G should perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon R9 M375X overall. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 370 2G will be a lot (about 54%) more effective at AF 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 running with high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon R7 370 2G is the winner, and very much so. (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: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. In the case of DDR type memory, it must be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip 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 colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate is also dependant 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.
