Radeon R5 430 vs Radeon RX 550 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 550 beats the Radeon R5 430 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 550 has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the Radeon RX 550 also 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, both the Radeon R5 430 and the Radeon RX 550 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.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 550 is faster than the Radeon R5 430.
