Radeon RX 5500 vs GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 5500 in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 5500 has a slightly 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 slightly 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 GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop has a slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the Radeon RX 5500 at 150 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop is faster than the Radeon RX 5500.
