AMD Radeon HD 8550G
The AMD Radeon HD 8550G is a processor graphics card in the AMD Richland APUs (for example, the A8-5550M ). It offers only 256 VLIW4 shader cores vs. the 384 shader cores of the 8650G . The 8550G has no dedicated graphics memory and shares the main memory with the CPU cores.
The integrated UVD3 video decoder allows for full decoding of Multi-View Codec (MVC), MPEG-4 Part 2 (DivX, xVid), MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 and Adobe Flash HD videos.
According to its clock rate range of 515 - 720 MHz (or 554 - 720 MHz in an A8-5557M ), performance is only a few percentage points above a Radeon HD 7640G . Thus, the Radeon HD 8550G performs similarly to a dedicated Radeon HD 7570M . Without fast dual-channel memory, however, performance drops dramatically. The shaders of the chip can also be used for general computing.
The APU is manufactured in 32nm and rated at a TDP of 35 W . This allows the chip to be used in notebooks from 13- to 14-inches or larger.
