HD 5500 vs Radeon RX 540 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 540 GPU is faster than the HD 5500 in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 540 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 RX 540 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 540 is faster than the HD 5500.
