HD 5500 vs Radeon Vega 8 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon Vega 8 GPU is faster than the HD 5500 in gaming.

Our database shows that both the HD 5500 and Radeon Vega 8 both have the same core clock speed. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 8 has a significantly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the HD 5500 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Radeon Vega 8 at 45 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon Vega 8 is faster than the HD 5500.
