AMD Radeon Pro W5500M

The AMD Radeon Pro W5500M is a mobile GPU built on the Navi 14 chip, using the RDNA 1.0 architecture on TSMC's 7 nm process. The fact pack records 6,400 million transistors on a 158 mm² die, 4 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, and a TDP of 85 W. Notably, the database contains no benchmark entries, an average benchmark score of 0, and an empty nearestRivals array, so positional analysis rests primarily on specifications and the single 50th percentile ranking.

Benchmark Performance

The most direct performance figure in the fact pack is the 50th percentile placement against all GPUs in the database. That rank implies a median position, but the accompanying avgBenchmarkScore of 0 and empty benchmarks array mean this percentile is not tied to any measured score. In other words, the data set records no actual benchmark runs for the AMD Radeon Pro W5500M, so any performance interpretation must rely on peak specification values rather than application results.

Those peak values do provide a measurable compute ceiling. The GPU is rated for 4.632 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput and 9.265 TFLOPS for FP16 with a 2:1 ratio. Pixel fill rate is listed at 52.64 GPixel/s, while texture fill rate is 144.8 GTexel/s. The base clock is 1448 MHz, with a boost clock of 1645 MHz. These numbers describe what the silicon is capable of at its maximum rates, but they do not indicate how sustained workloads behave under varying thermals, driver settings, or professional application loads.

Because the nearestRivals array is empty, there are no deltaPct values and no named competitors to compare against. No percentage deltas can be computed from the fact pack, and there is no way to say whether the W5500M leads or trails any other GPU in the database. The 50th percentile is the only rank available, and even that is difficult to evaluate without benchmark scores behind it. The data asks more questions than it answers: is the 50th percentile a real measurement artifact, or does it simply reflect the absence of entries? The fact pack does not resolve that ambiguity.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set

The fact pack lists no RT cores and no tensor cores for the AMD Radeon Pro W5500M. This absence is significant because it means the database provides no evidence of dedicated hardware for ray tracing or tensor-style AI workloads. The chip is based on RDNA 1.0, an architecture that predates the dedicated ray accelerator blocks seen in later RDNA generations, and the null fields for rtCores and tensorCores reinforce that the W5500M does not expose those hardware units in the recorded data.

API support is nonetheless present. The GPU supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. These interfaces give software paths for modern graphics features, including those that could be implemented in compute shaders rather than fixed-function hardware. The distinction matters: API compatibility does not automatically imply hardware-accelerated ray tracing. A DirectX 12 (12_1) feature level is not the same as a full DirectX 12 Ultimate feature set. The fact pack's null RT core count should therefore be read as a clear limitation for any workload specifically requiring dedicated ray tracing silicon.

Who Should Consider It

The product naming and generation field place the W5500M in the Radeon Pro Mobile W5x00M lineup, and its display outputs are listed as portable device dependent. That points toward mobile professional systems rather than desktop cards. With 4.632 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 224.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth, the W5500M appears oriented toward workloads that need moderate compute throughput without extreme memory capacity.

The 4 GB GDDR6 frame buffer is a meaningful boundary. Users running scenes or datasets that fit within 4 GB may find the memory subsystem adequate, but larger textures, multi-application workloads, or high-resolution rendering scenes could exceed that capacity. The lack of benchmark data means no resolution-specific or settings-specific guarantees can be made. The conservative reading is that the W5500M is best suited to professional mobile tasks where the software stack is aligned with the supported APIs — DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 — and where the workload's memory footprint stays within the recorded VRAM capacity.

Power and Cooling

The TDP is listed as 85 W, which is a fixed thermal design point in the fact pack. Power connectors are listed as “None,” and no suggested PSU is provided. This combination suggests the GPU is intended to draw power through the system integration rather than through external PCIe power leads. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x8, which supplies both data connectivity and, in a typical slot-based implementation, power delivery, though the fact pack does not specify the electrical path.

No slot width, length, height, or width dimensions are recorded, which makes physical cooling analysis impossible from the supplied data. No cooler specifications appear in the fact pack either. The absence of a suggested PSU recommendation is notable; the database simply has no value for that field. For a mobile part, cooling is likely handled by the host system's own thermal solution, but that detail is not encoded in the fact pack. The 85 W TDP is the only power-related number available, and it serves as the anchor for any thermal expectation.

How It Compares

The nearestRivals array is empty. There are no rival names, no rival scores, and no deltaPct values in the fact pack, so no direct GPU-to-GPU comparisons can be made. The only positional data point is the 50th percentile rank against all GPUs, but without benchmark entries or rival records, this rank cannot be converted into a specific lead or deficit over any other product. This section therefore cannot fulfill the usual comparative role; the data does not supply the necessary comparison set.

Memory Subsystem

The memory subsystem is defined by three key figures: 4 GB of GDDR6, a 128-bit bus width, and 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The effective memory transfer rate of 14 Gbps, derived from the 1750 MHz memory clock, is paired with a relatively narrow bus. In practical terms, 224.0 GB/s is a fixed ceiling for data movement between the GPU and its frame buffer, and the 4 GB capacity is the absolute working set limit regardless of how efficiently bandwidth is used.

For high-resolution work, both capacity and bandwidth matter. Large framebuffers, high-resolution textures, and multi-sample data can pressure the 4 GB limit quickly, forcing the driver to manage memory more selectively. The 128-bit bus means the GPU cannot rely on enormous raw width to offset capacity constraints; instead, it depends on the 14 Gbps effective speed to sustain throughput. The fact pack does not include memory benchmarks, so the exact impact of this subsystem on real applications cannot be quantified here. What the data does show is a compact memory design: 4 GB, GDDR6, 128 bits, and 224.0 GB/s form the complete memory picture.
