Radeon RX 480 vs Radeon Pro W5500 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Radeon Pro W5500 beats the Radeon RX 480 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon Pro W5500 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 Pro W5500 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.

In addition, the Radeon Pro W5500 has a slightly lower TDP at 125 W when compared to the Radeon RX 480 at 150 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon Pro W5500 is better than the Radeon RX 480.
