HP ZBook 15u G5 (FHD, i7-8550U) Workstation Review
Intel Core i7-8550U | AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100 | 15.60" | 1.9 kg

The AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100 Mobile is a professional workstation graphics card for laptops. It is based on the consumer Radeon RX 540 and therefore uses the same Polaris 12 chip (unverified). The exact clock speeds of the mobile version are not published, the desktop version however, seems to feature similar clock speeds as the RX 540. The graphics memory however seems to be identical, as its also specified with 96 GB/s throughput.
The AMD Radeon Pro (formerly known as FirePro) is the counterpart to the Quadro series from Nvidia and offers certified drivers for professional 3D applications (CAD and DCC).
