Radeon R7 360 vs Radeon RX 550X comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 550X GPU is faster than the Radeon R7 360 in gaming.

The Radeon RX 550X has a slightly 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 550X also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon RX 550X has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the Radeon RX 550X has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the Radeon R7 360 at 100 W. 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 550X is faster than the Radeon R7 360.
