AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card. Reference Game and Boost frequencies clock in at 1,717MHz and 1,845MHz, respectively. The AMD Radeon RX 6800M GPU offers 1440p/ 120 fps performance, the AMD. The Radeon RX 5500 XT also has 32 ROPs and its 4GB or 8GB of GDDR 6 memory is linked to the GPU over a 128-bit wide, 14Gbps interface – half the size, but at similar speed to the Radeon RX 5700 XT.

The Radeon RX 5500 XT GPU is outfitted with 22 compute units, with a total of 1,408 stream processors (the Radeon RX 5700 XT has 2,560). The smaller GPU means fewer CUs, stream processors, and other elements. The Navi-based GPU powering the Radeon RX 5500 XT, however, features only 6.4 billion transistors and is a relatively svelte 158 square millimeters. The GPU at the heart of the Radeon RX 5700 XT is comprised of roughly 10.3 billion transistors and has a die size of about 251 square millimeters.

Radeon RX 5500 XT cards are based on the same Navi GPU architecture as AMD’s current high-end Radeon RX 5700 series cards, but leverage a chip that’s smaller and scaled-down for a different market segment. First up, some quick specifications and then we’ll check out the cards and dig into some benchmarks. We’ve got a pair of nearly identical Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 5500 XT cards on-hand, to test both the 4GB and 8GB versions.

The Radeon RX 5500 XT will be offered in both 4GB and 8GB memory configurations, though both target the mainstream sub-$200, 1080P gaming segment currently occupied by previous-generation Radeons and NVIDIA’s Turing-based GeForce GTX 16-series cards. Today AMD is officially launching the Radeon RX 5500 XT, in two flavors. Soon thereafter, rumors began swirling that a somewhat more powerful, Navi-based mainstream solution was in the works, however – known as the Radeon RX 5500 XT. The cards weren’t destined for the channel or traditional retail availability, but rather pre-built systems and laptops. The Radeon RX 5500 featured the same RDNA-infused Navi GPU architecture as the more powerful Radeon RX 5700 XT, but scaled things back for lower-power applications and more affordable price points. Back in October, AMD released its Radeon RX 5500 series GPUs for OEM desktop and mobile systems.
