Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon R9 M375X is 463% faster than the GeForce GT 210 overall, because of its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375X		72000 MB/sec
GeForce GT 210		12800 MB/sec
	Difference: 59200 (463%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M375X is quite a bit (about 762%) faster with regards to AF than the GeForce GT 210. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375X		40600 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 210		4712 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 35888 (762%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R9 M375X should be a lot (approximately 589%) more effective at AA than the GeForce GT 210, and also able to handle higher resolutions without losing too much performance. (explain)

Radeon R9 M375X		16240 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 210		2356 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 13884 (589%)

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 max amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate 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 rate also depends on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
