GeForce 920M vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare those specs to the Radeon R7 M360, which features a GPU core clock speed of 1125 MHz, and 2048 MB of DDR3 RAM set to run at 1000 MHz through a 64-bit bus. It also is made up of 384 Stream Processors, 24 Texture Address Units, and 8 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

In theory, the Radeon R7 M360 should be 11% faster than the GeForce 920M overall, due to its higher bandwidth. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
GeForce 920M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 1600 (11%)

Texel Rate

The GeForce 920M is a small bit (approximately 13%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon R7 M360. (explain)

GeForce 920M		30528 Mtexels/sec
Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 3528 (13%)

Pixel Rate

If running with lots of anti-aliasing is important to you, then the Radeon R7 M360 is superior to the GeForce 920M, but not by far. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 920M		7632 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 1368 (18%)

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 (counted in megabytes per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface in one second. It is calculated by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This figure is calculated 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 video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of Render Output Units by the the card's clock speed. 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 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 maximum fill rate.
