AMD presented its GPUs with an RDNA architecture of 7 nanometers of medium-range, the Radeon RX 5500, which according to the brand promises more performance than the new Nvidia GTX released a few months ago.
The new Radeon RX 5500, would replace the RX 550 and 560 Polaris, the new AMD mid-range graphics card has hardware capable of processing graphics with a performance of 1080p, ideal for users who are not very demanding but expect efficient performance.
According to the source, the new Radeon RX 5500 is compared to Nvidia’s GTX 1650 and 1650 X, the manufacturer’s mobile GPUs with basic features that are ideal for desktop computers.
RDNA architecture and two versions of VRAM
AMD explains that the Radeon RX 5500 is equipped with Fidelity FX with Radeon Image Sharpening, Radeon Anti-Lag, and the new PCIe 4.0 standard. The company’s 7-nanometer RDNA processing architecture, which has been in use for two years, is designed to cover high-performance video games with a frequency of “1.25 per clock compared to previous 14nm processors,” says the brand.
Internally, the Radeon RX 5500 has 22 processing units and 1408 SP with 1.717 MHz game clock frequencies for the 5500 series version, while the RX 5500 version has 1645 MHz game clock.
On the VRAM GDDR6 level, the Radeon 5500 comes with 4 GB and the more powerful RX 5500 series with 8 GB. The source also points out that AMD treats these numbers as GPUs and ensures that the Radeon RX 5500 offers 30% performance compared to older AMD models.
AMD doesn’t even announce exactly when retail cards will be released beyond a vague Q4. Instead, today’s announcement is essentially about the OEM side of the AMD product stack.
