Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R9 M280X vs Radeon R9 M370X
IntroThe Radeon R9 M280X uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 900 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM works at a frequency of 1375 MHz on this specific model. It features 896 SPUs as well as 56 Texture Address Units and 16 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 M370X, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has clocked the core frequency at 800 MHz. The GDDR5 memory runs at a frequency of 1125 MHz on this particular card. It features 640 SPUs along with 40 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthThe Radeon R9 M280X should theoretically perform quite a bit faster than the Radeon R9 M370X overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M280X is a lot (about 58%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the Radeon R9 M370X. (explain)
Pixel RateIf running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon R9 M280X is the winner, though not by far. (explain)
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. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It's calculated by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the 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 card could possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.
