Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

As far as performance goes, the GeForce RTX 3060 should in theory be a lot superior to the Radeon R7 M360 in general. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		368640 MB/sec
Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
	Difference: 352640 (2204%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce RTX 3060 will be a lot (more or less 448%) better at texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		147840 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 120840 (448%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high screen resolution is important to you, then the GeForce RTX 3060 is the winner, by a large margin. (explain)

GeForce RTX 3060		63360 Mpixels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 54360 (604%)

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: Bandwidth is the largest amount of data (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, 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 amount of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
