Radeon RX 550 vs Radeon Vega 11 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 550 beats the Radeon Vega 11 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 550 has a significantly 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. Despite this, the Radeon Vega 11 has a slightly 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, the Radeon Vega 11 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Radeon RX 550 at 50 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon RX 550 over the Radeon Vega 11.
