Radeon R7 M360 vs Radeon RX 5500 XT

Intro

Compare all of that to the Radeon RX 5500 XT, which uses a 7 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 1717 MHz. The GDDR6 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1750 MHz on this specific model. It features 1408 SPUs along with 88 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 5500 XT should theoretically be quite a bit faster than the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)

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

Texel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT should be a lot (approximately 460%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		151096 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 124096 (460%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon RX 5500 XT is a lot (about 510%) more effective at AA than the Radeon R7 M360, and should be capable of handling higher resolutions better. (explain)

Radeon RX 5500 XT		54944 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 45944 (510%)

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 max amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transported across the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. If it uses DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the bandwidth is, 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 texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, 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 amount 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 Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.
