Radeon RX 5500 XT vs Radeon Pro W5500 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon Pro W5500 GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 5500 XT in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon Pro W5500 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 Pro W5500 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon Pro W5500 has a slightly lower TDP at 125 W when compared to the Radeon RX 5500 XT at 130 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 Radeon Pro W5500 is faster than the Radeon RX 5500 XT.
