Some weeks ago AMD introduced us to its RX 5500 graphics cards for 1080p gaming. These new graphics cards will be launched on December 12 for the general market. Some OEM systems (clone computers) are already beginning to integrate them. After two months without a release date, the company finally gives us a commercialization date for this new GPU.
RDNA architecture is AMD's great proposition for the future. This first iteration of this new architecture reveals the potential of this new design created by and for gaming. It is even speculated that in 2020 RDNA graphics will arrive with dedicated hardware for Ray Tracing.

RX 5500 as a replacement for the Polaris
RX 5500 arrives precisely to replace Polaris, a GPU design that has been on the market for many years. AMD's bet with Polaris was to offer a well-priced solution for 1080p @ 60FPS gaming. This new solution comes to compete in entry-level gaming, with a good price and great energy efficiency.
This new graphics card is based on RDNA @ 7nm, integrating a total of 1408 Stream Processors. This chart also has 88 TMUs and 32 ROPs. This graph offers us a base frequency of 1670Mz, a Gaming frequency of 1717MHz and a Boost frequency of 1845MHz for a total power of 5.19TFLOPs. It will have 4GB GDDR6 @ 14GHz with a 128-bit memory interface and a bandwidth of 224GB / s. It has a 110W TDP, which is really good.
AMD presents this RX 5500 graphics as a competitor to NVIDIA's GTX 1650. The company says that at 1080p with Ultra graphics it offers a 37% performance improvement over NVDIA's solution. Fortnite, Apex Legends, PUBG, WoW, Overwatch, and Rainbow Six Siege all move at 90FPS or higher, under this resolution.
Initially these RX 5500 will arrive on December 12 for $ 149, which is approximately 160 euros at the exchange rate.
