AMD Radeon RX 6550M vs AMD Radeon RX 6300M

AMD Radeon RX 6550M

► remove from comparison AMD Radeon RX 6550M

The AMD Radeon RX 6550M is a mobile entry-level graphics card based on the Navi 24 chip (RDNA 2  architecture) manufactured in the modern 6nm process. It features 1024 cores (16 CUs - compute units) and 4 GB of fast GDDR6 graphics memory connected with a 64 Bit memory bus. The chip also includes 16 MB Infinity Cache. The game clock speed is specified at 2560 MHz. Compared to the RX 6500M, the 6550M offers an increased core clock (+17%) but the memory bus i cut in half (64 versus 128 Bit).

The performance should be slightly higher than an average RX 6500M, as long as the memory bandwidth reduction wont has a too big impact.

The Navi 24 chip is manufactured at TSMC in the modern 6nm process and should offer a good energy efficiency. The RX6550M is specified at a TDP of 50 - 80 Watt and therefore best suited for normal multimedia laptops.

AMD Radeon RX 6300M

► remove from comparison AMD Radeon RX 6300M

The AMD Radeon RX 6300M is a mobile entry-level graphics card based on the Navi 24 chip (RDNA 2  architecture) manufactured in the modern 6nm process. It features 768 cores (12 CUs - compute units) and 2 GB of fast GDDR6 graphics memory connected with a 128 Bit memory bus. The chip also includes 8 MB Infinity Cache. The game clock speed is specified at 1512 MHz. The 6300M supports Smart Access Memory and SmartShift Technology.

The performance should be similar to a mobile GTX 1650 (according to AMD) and therefore best suited for 1080p gaming with medium settings.

The Navi 24 chip is manufactured at TSMC in the modern 6nm process and should offer a good energy efficiency.
