HD 5500 vs Radeon R5 M255 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R5 M255 beats the HD 5500 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon R5 M255 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 R5 M255 also 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon R5 M255 over the HD 5500.
