HD 515 vs HD 5500 comparison

In our benchmarks, the HD 515 beats the HD 5500 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that both the HD 515 and HD 5500 both have the same core clock speed. Despite this, the HD 5500 has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, both the HD 515 and the HD 5500 have an identical TDP. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the HD 515 over the HD 5500.
