Core clock speed	1235 MHz	1500 MHz
Boost clock speed	1750 MHz	2500 MHz
Number of transistors	10,300 million	25,390 million
Manufacturing process technology	7 nm	4 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	150 Watt	30 Watt (30 - 15 Watt TGP)
Texture fill rate	224.6	40.00

Form factor & compatibility

Information on Radeon RX 5600 XT and Radeon 740M compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
