Hot on the heels of the release of the Radeon RX 580 and RX 570 launched earlier this week, AMD have released a new Polaris 12 GPU, the Radeon RX 550. It is a sub-$100 entry level GPU, targeted at those who want an inexpensive, low profile, low power and low performance component for mini desktop PCs or a minor upgrade on integrated GPUs. It has just 8 compute units, a boost clock of 1183 MHz and comes with either 2 or 4 Gb of GDDR5 memory capable of delivering up to 112 GB/s bandwidth. As expected from a discrete GPU, the RX 550 wipes the floor with Intel’s current best desktop iGPU (HD 630 (Kaby Lake). The RX 550 is expected to be around 70% as fast as the only $20 dearer RX 560 (the successor to the RX 460 to be released next month), however this should be sufficient for an okay gaming experience for many games on non-demanding settings. It is anticipated, that AMD will tailor the form of the 550 more towards the laptop market as the year progresses. [Apr '17GPUPro]
Recently released 1 December 2019 for consumers, this GPU serves as competitor against AMD's own RX 580 and Nvidia's GTX 1060 6GB, GTX 1650 SUPER and GTX 1660. This GPU comes with 1408 stream processors which is clocked at 1670MHz and can boost up to 1845MHz on stock setting, also comes with 4GB of GDDR6 VRAM with 128 bit bus width. This GPU score 58.1% on GPU benchmark which is on par with AMD RX 580 and Nvidia GTX 1650 SUPER but below AMD RX 590 and Nvidia GTX 1660 and GTX 1660 SUPER. This GPU costs $160 which is same as the pricing of GTX 1650 SUPER but this GPU requires a bigger wattage PSU as this GPU consumes 150W compared to GTX 1650 SUPER which is 100W. [Dec '19ColdSpy]
