Radeon R7 250 vs Radeon Pro W5500 specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon Pro W5500 graphics card is better than the Radeon R7 250 in our tests.

The Radeon Pro W5500 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 Pro W5500 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon R7 250 has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Radeon Pro W5500 at 125 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon Pro W5500 is better than the Radeon R7 250.
