Radeon R9 M365X vs Radeon RX 460

Intro

Compare all that to the Radeon RX 460, which has GPU core speed of 1090 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also features 896 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 16 Raster Operation Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon RX 460 should perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon R9 M365X in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 460		112000 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 40000 (56%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 460 will be a lot (approximately 65%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M365X. (explain)

Radeon RX 460		61040 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		37000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 24040 (65%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 460 will be just a bit (approximately 18%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon R9 M365X, and able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (explain)

Radeon RX 460		17440 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M365X		14800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 2640 (18%)

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 (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core 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 rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.
