Radeon RX 5600 vs Radeon RX 580 2048SP specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon RX 5600 graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 580 2048SP in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 580 2048SP 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 Radeon RX 5600 has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, both the Radeon RX 5600 and the Radeon RX 580 2048SP have an identical TDP. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 5600 is faster than the Radeon RX 580 2048SP.
