Radeon Pro Duo vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R7 M360, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1125 MHz. The DDR3 RAM works at a frequency of 1000 MHz on this specific card. It features 384 SPUs along with 24 TAUs and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon Pro Duo will be 6300% quicker than the Radeon R7 M360 overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		1024000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 1008000 (6300%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo is quite a bit (more or less 1796%) more effective at texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		512000 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 485000 (1796%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon Pro Duo is much (approximately 1322%) better at FSAA than the Radeon R7 M360, and also will be able to handle higher resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon Pro Duo		128000 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 119000 (1322%)

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.

One or more cards in this comparison are multi-core. This means that their bandwidth, texel and pixel rates are theoretically doubled - this does not mean the card will actually perform twice as fast, but only that it should in theory be able to. Actual game benchmarks will give a more accurate idea of what it's capable of.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus 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 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed in one 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 card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
