Radeon RX 580 2048SP vs RTX A500 Laptop benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the RTX A500 Laptop GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 580 2048SP in gaming.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 580 2048SP 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. Despite this, the RTX A500 Laptop has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the RTX A500 Laptop is better than the Radeon RX 580 2048SP.
