Radeon R7 M360 vs Radeon RX 460

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 460, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1090 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a speed of 1750 MHz on this model. It features 896 SPUs as well as 56 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon RX 460 should be a lot faster than the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 460		112000 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 96000 (600%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 460 is quite a bit (approximately 126%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

Radeon RX 460		61040 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 34040 (126%)

Pixel Rate

If using high levels of AA is important to you, then the Radeon RX 460 is superior to the Radeon R7 M360, and very much so. (explain)

Radeon RX 460		17440 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 8440 (94%)

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 megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, 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 processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the graphics 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 the video card could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
