Radeon R7 M360 vs Radeon RX 5500

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon RX 5500, which comes with GPU clock speed of 1670 MHz, and 4096 MB of GDDR6 memory running at 1750 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is comprised of 1408 Stream Processors, 88 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Radeon RX 5500 should perform much faster than the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		229376 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 213376 (1334%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 will be quite a bit (approximately 444%) faster with regards to anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		146960 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 119960 (444%)

Pixel Rate

If using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon RX 5500 is the winner, by far. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500		53440 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 44440 (494%)

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 (measured in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. It is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly write to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core speed of the card. 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 quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.
