Radeon RX 5500M vs GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 5500M in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 5500M 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 5500M 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 Radeon RX 5500M has a slightly lower TDP at 85 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop at 115 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 GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop over the Radeon RX 5500M.
