Radeon R9 370 vs Radeon RX 5500 benchmarks

For gaming, the Radeon RX 5500 graphics card is better than the Radeon R9 370 in our tests.

The Radeon RX 5500 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 5500 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 4 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, both the Radeon R9 370 and the Radeon RX 5500 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 5500 is faster than the Radeon R9 370.
