GeForce MX550 vs Radeon RX 6500M specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce MX550 beats the Radeon RX 6500M in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 6500M has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the Radeon RX 6500M 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 MX550 has a significantly lower TDP at 25 W when compared to the Radeon RX 6500M at 50 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce MX550 is faster than the Radeon RX 6500M.
