GeForce GTX 660M vs Radeon Pro W5500 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon Pro W5500 beats the GeForce GTX 660M in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the Radeon Pro W5500 has a significantly 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 significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 660M has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the Radeon Pro W5500 at 125 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon Pro W5500 over the GeForce GTX 660M.
