AMD Radeon Pro 555X: specs and benchmarks

VS

Summary

AMD started Radeon Pro 555X sales 5 June 2017. This is a Polaris architecture notebook card based on 14 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 4 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 5.08 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 81.6 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via PCIe 3.0 x8 interface.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 8.31% of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
