GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs Radeon Pro W5500 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon Pro W5500 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon Pro W5500 has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the Radeon Pro W5500 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB has a slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the Radeon Pro W5500 at 125 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon Pro W5500 is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB.
