Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R7 240 vs Radeon R9 M375
IntroThe Radeon R7 240 comes with a GPU core speed of 730 MHz, and the 2048 MB of DDR3 memory is set to run at 900 MHz through a 128-bit bus. It also is made up of 320 Stream Processors, 20 TAUs, and 8 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 M375, which uses a 28 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 1015 MHz. The DDR3 memory runs at a speed of 1100 MHz on this particular card. It features 640 SPUs as well as 40 TAUs and 16 Rasterization Operator Units.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksMemory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon R9 M375 should be 22% faster than the Radeon R7 240 overall, due to its greater bandwidth. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 M375 should be quite a bit (approximately 178%) faster with regards to texture filtering than the Radeon R7 240. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 M375 is a lot (approximately 178%) faster with regards to FSAA than the Radeon R7 240, and also should be able to handle higher screen resolutions more effectively. (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 (measured in MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in a second. It's worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This figure is calculated by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
