Radeon RX 550X vs Radeon Pro WX 2100 benchmarks

For gaming, the Radeon RX 550X graphics card is better than the Radeon Pro WX 2100 in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 550X has a slightly 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. In addition, the Radeon RX 550X also 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 Pro WX 2100 has a much lower TDP at 35 W when compared to the Radeon RX 550X at 50 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 550X is better than the Radeon Pro WX 2100.
