Radeon RX 560 XT vs GeForce MX550 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce MX550 GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 560 XT in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 560 XT 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. Despite this, the GeForce MX550 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 MX550 has a significantly lower TDP at 25 W when compared to the Radeon RX 560 XT at 150 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce MX550 is better than the Radeon RX 560 XT.
