Radeon RX 5500M vs Radeon RX 590 GME comparison

For gaming, the Radeon RX 590 GME graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 5500M in our tests.

Our database shows that 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 significantly lower TDP at 85 W when compared to the Radeon RX 590 GME at 175 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 590 GME is better than the Radeon RX 5500M.
