About AMD Radeon R7 M370
The AMD Radeon R7 M370 is a 28 nm GCN 1.0 GPU built at TSMC. The chip is named Litho and belongs to the Gem System (R7 M300) generation. It packs 950 million transistors into a 77 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 12.3M per square millimeter. The memory configuration is 2 GB of GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus with 57.60 GB/s of bandwidth. The average benchmark score is 6697, which puts it at the 37th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Production status is end-of-life.
Memory Subsystem
The R7 M370's memory subsystem consists of 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, a 128-bit bus, and 57.60 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock is listed at 900 MHz, or 3.6 Gbps effective. This is a fixed memory bandwidth figure, and it defines how quickly data can move between the frame buffer and the GPU's 384 shading units. The texture rate is 23.04 GTexel/s, while the pixel rate is 7.680 GPixel/s.
At higher resolutions, memory bandwidth and capacity become the primary limits. A 2 GB frame buffer is small for large texture and geometry workloads, and 57.60 GB/s is a moderate transfer rate. The 128-bit bus cannot compensate for the bandwidth figure by moving more data per clock. For high-resolution use, the data does not contain a separate score, but the memory numbers alone indicate that this part will run out of headroom earlier than its compute resources might suggest.
The memory type is GDDR5, and the effective data rate is 3.6 Gbps. The bus width and the resulting 57.60 GB/s figure characterize this as a modest memory subsystem. Builders should plan around the 2 GB capacity. That is the total memory available for the entire frame, and it is one of the defining constraints of this GPU.
Who Should Consider It
This GPU is for users whose target workload sits near the 37th percentile. The database gives it an average benchmark score of 6697, and that percentile means most GPUs in the database score higher. It is not a high-performance part, and it is not positioned for high-detail, high-resolution workloads. The 2 GB GDDR5 frame buffer and 57.60 GB/s bandwidth place the practical ceiling below that use case.
OpenCL is the stronger benchmark result for the R7 M370. The Geekbench OpenCL score is 7049, while the Geekbench Vulkan score is 6345. Users running OpenCL-heavy applications should expect relatively better results than users running Vulkan workloads. The Vulkan score is not far from the average scores of the nearest rivals, but it is still a modest number. For a GPU at the 37th percentile, expectations should be modest. The Vulkan score of 6345 is the less optimistic estimate, and users whose workload is Vulkan-based should treat that as the relevant figure.
The R7 M370 has 384 shading units, 24 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. Compute throughput is listed at 737.3 GFLOPS FP32. These are the resources available, and they match a low-to-mid tier product. Anyone with light compute needs or a legacy system can consider it, but the data does not support a recommendation for maxed-out settings.
Benchmark Performance
Two Geekbench results are listed for this GPU. OpenCL returns 7049, Vulkan returns 6345, and the average benchmark score is 6697. The FP32 figure is 737.3 GFLOPS. The pixel rate of 7.680 GPixel/s and texture rate of 23.04 GTexel/s complete the computational profile.
Against its nearest rivals, the R7 M370 is ahead in three comparisons. It is 1% above the AMD Radeon R7 M460, whose average score is 6632. It is 2.1% above the AMD Radeon HD 7730M, whose average score is 6560. It is 2.4% above the Intel UHD Graphics P750, whose average score is 6538. The lone negative delta is against the AMD FirePro M5100, which averages 6837 and is 2% ahead. These are all narrow margins; no rival is separated from the M370 by a large performance gap.
The nearest rivals bracket the M370 from both ends. The Intel UHD Graphics P750 has the lowest average score of the group at 6538, and the AMD FirePro M5100 has the highest at 6837. The M370's 6697 sits between those two figures. The R7 M460 at 6632 and the HD 7730M at 6560 are just below it, while the FirePro M5100 is the only listed rival above it.
The 37th percentile puts the M370 below the majority of the database. Its average score of 6697 is the reference point for all comparisons. The OpenCL score of 7049 is higher than the Vulkan score of 6345, so API choice matters for this GPU. The data does not explain why, but the benchmark results show that OpenCL is the stronger environment.
How It Compares

Power and Cooling
The power and cooling fields are not populated in this data. TDP is unlisted, the suggested PSU field is empty, and no power connector requirements are given. Slot width is also unlisted. As a result, no cooler size or power supply recommendation can be derived from the fact pack.
The only bus-related fact is the PCIe 3.0 x8 interface. This specifies the link width to the host, but it does not quantify electrical draw. Manufacturing data shows a 28 nm chip containing 950 million transistors on a 77 mm² die, with a transistor density of 12.3M per square millimeter. These numbers describe the die, not the thermal load. Without a TDP figure, there is no basis for a wattage claim.
System builders who need a cooler or PSU size should look to the original system documentation. The database does not state whether this GPU requires a supplementary power connector. Treat the power requirements as unspecified.
