Intel HD 5500
The HD 5500 is a GPU from Intel. This chip has a bad gaming score with 93 points in our GPU benchmark.
In terms of clock speed, the HD 5500 GPU core runs at a frequency of 300 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 850 MHz. A clock speed is the frequency at which the GPU updates. A higher speed means more processing can happen per cycle. This is useful only when comparing cards of the same generation, as other architectures may process more or less per clock.
As for rendering API support, the HD 5500 supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.4 features are supported. If your GPU is too old and doesn't support a newer API certain titles may not be playable.
The Intel HD 5500 has a TDP of 15W, this is the amount of heat energy produced by the chip as a byproduct. The higher the TDP, the more heat is produced.
