AMD Radeon RX 5500M vs AMD Radeon RX 5300M
AMD Radeon RX 5500M
► remove from comparisonThe AMD Radeon RX 5500M (or RX 5500 Mobile Graphics) is a mobile mid-range graphics card based on the Navi 14 chip (RDNA architecture) manufactured in the modern 7nm process. It features 1,408 cores clocked at 1,645 MHz (max. Boost, 1448 MHz max game clock) and fast GDDR6 graphics memory (14 Gbps).
The Navi 14 chip uses the new RDNA (Radeon DNA) microarchitecture which is a successor the the GCN instruction set. It features a new processor design, a multi-level cache hierarchy and an improved rendering pipeline with support for GDDR6 memory.
The performance of the RX5500M should be between the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q and the normal GeForce GTX 1660 Ti according to AMD. That means it should be best suited for Full HD (1920x1080) with high or maximum settings in demanding games. AMD states that the 5500M should be able to hit a performance of up to 4,6 TFLOPS (theoretical) versus 5,2 (+12%) of the desktop Radeon 5500. In our gaming benchmarks with the MSI Alpha 15, the RX 5500M however was slightly slower on average than the older GTX 1060 (mobile) and therefore between GTX 1650 and GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q.
The chip is specified with a TDP of 85 Watt and therefore 20 Watt more than the slower clocked Radeon RX5300M. In games the power consumption of the chip ranges between 64 and 105 Watt (Ghost Recon gameplay recorded with HWInfo64). In the MSI Alpha 15 the power consumption was clearly higher than the GTX 1060 and GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q and only slightly below a normal GTX 1660 Ti (measured in The Witcher 3 with an external monitor).
AMD Radeon RX 5300M
► remove from comparisonThe AMD Radeon RX 5300M is a dedicated mobile mid-range graphics card for laptops. It uses the new Navi 14 chip (RDNA architecture) which is produced in 7nm. Is supports fast and expensive GDDR6 VRAM and when using it, it should be faster than a GeForce GTX 1650 (according to leaked benchmarks from AMD).
The Navi 14 chip uses the new RDNA (Radeon DNA) microarchitecture which is a successor the the GCN instruction set. It features a new processor design, a multi-level cache hierarchy and an improved rendering pipeline with support for GDDR6 memory.
The performance should be around the GeForce GTX 1650 according to AMD. Therefore, it is most suited for medium to high detail settings in full HD for demanding games in 2019.
The RX5300M uses the same amount of compute cores as the faster 5500M but at a lower clock rate that leads to a lower TDP of the chip of 65 Watt (versus 85W of the 5500M).
