GeForce 930M vs Radeon R7 M360

Intro

Compare those specifications to the Radeon R7 M360, which has core clock speeds of 1125 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 2048 MB of DDR3 memory. It features 384 SPUs as well as 24 Texture Address Units and 8 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks

Memory Bandwidth

The Radeon R7 M360 should theoretically perform a small bit faster than the GeForce 930M in general. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360		16000 MB/sec
GeForce 930M		14400 MB/sec
	Difference: 1600 (11%)

Texel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 should be a lot (more or less 21%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce 930M. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360		27000 Mtexels/sec
GeForce 930M		22272 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 4728 (21%)

Pixel Rate

The Radeon R7 M360 should be a lot (about 21%) more effective at full screen anti-aliasing than the GeForce 930M, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)

Radeon R7 M360		9000 Mpixels/sec
GeForce 930M		7424 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 1576 (21%)

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 (counted in MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.

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

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on many other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.
