Radeon R9 M370X vs Radeon RX 560

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 560, which uses a 14 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1175 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1750 MHz on this specific card. It features 1024 SPUs as well as 64 Texture Address Units and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Performance-wise, the Radeon RX 560 should in theory be quite a bit superior to the Radeon R9 M370X in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		114688 MB/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		72000 MB/sec
	Difference: 42688 (59%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 should be quite a bit (approximately 135%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon R9 M370X. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		75200 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		32000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 43200 (135%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 560 is quite a bit (approximately 47%) faster with regards to AA than the Radeon R9 M370X, and also will be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon RX 560		18800 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R9 M370X		12800 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 6000 (47%)

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 largest amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's interface 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 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, 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 amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card 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 per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels the video card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called 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 - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.
