Radeon RX 570 vs Radeon RX 6500M comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 6500M GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 570 in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 6500M has a significantly 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 6500M also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon RX 570 has significantly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Radeon RX 6500M has a significantly lower TDP at 50 W when compared to the Radeon RX 570 at 150 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon RX 6500M over the Radeon RX 570.
