Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon R9 M395X should be 900% faster than the Radeon R7 M360 in general, because of its greater data rate. (explain)

Radeon R9 M395X		160000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 144000 (900%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R9 M395X is much (more or less 243%) better at AF than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

Radeon R9 M395X		92544 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 65544 (243%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M395X is the winner, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon R9 M395X		23136 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 14136 (157%)

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 information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported over the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the bandwidth is, 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 worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core 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 in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. 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 output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
