AMD Radeon RX 5500 Marketing Sheets Reveal a bit More About

Marketing materials of AMD’s upcoming Radeon RX 5500 mid-range graphics playing cards leaked to the online, offering insights to the product’s positioning in AMD’s stack. The October 2019 dated doc lists out the cardboard’s specification, efficiency relative to a competing NVIDIA product, and a supplies a common steering on what expertise to count on type it. To start with, the RX 5500 desktop graphics card is predicated on the 7 nm “Navi 14” silicon, and is configured with 22 RDNA compute items, amounting to 1,408 stream processors. The chip includes a 128-bit vast GDDR6 reminiscence bus, which is paired with both four GB or Eight GB of reminiscence working at 14 Gbps data-rate, yielding 224 GB/s of reminiscence bandwidth. Its GPU clocks are listed as 1670 MHz “gaming,” and 1845 MHz increase. The firm did not point out nominal clocks. The typical board energy is rated at 110 W, and a single 8-pin PCIe energy enter is deployed on the reference-design board.

The second slide is the place issues get very attention-grabbing. AMD tabled its product stack, and the RX 570, RX 580, and RX 590 are lacking, even because the RX 560 is not. This might be an indication of AMD phasing out the Polaris-based 1080p playing cards within the very close to future, and changing them with the RX 5500, and presumably a greater endowed “RX 5500 XT,” if rumors of the “Navi 14” that includes extra CUs are to be believed. What is shocking about this complete presentation although is that solely the “RX 5500” is listed, with the “XT” nowhere in sight. Let’s hope the XT model will get launched additional down the highway. In the product stack, the RX 5500 is apparently nonetheless being in comparison with the GeForce GTX 1650, with no point out of the GTX 1660. This doc was in all probability made when the GTX 1660 Super hadn’t launched. A unique slide supplies some steering on what sort of experiences to count on from the varied playing cards, rated N/A, good, higher, or wonderful. According to it, the RX 5500 ought to present “excellent” AAA gaming at 1080p, pretty easy gaming at excessive settings (graded “better”), “excellent” e-Sports gaming, and “better” 1440p gaming. The card can be “excellent” in any respect non-gaming graphics, reminiscent of watching 4K video, photograph/video creator work, recreation streaming at any decision, and common desktop use.
