HD 5500 vs UHD comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the UHD GPU is faster than the HD 5500 in gaming.

Our database shows that both the HD 5500 and UHD both have the same core clock speed. Despite this, the UHD 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 5500 and the UHD 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 UHD over the HD 5500.
