About ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5430
The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5430 is an AMD mobile GPU built around the Park chip and the TeraScale 2 architecture. The data places it in the Manhattan (Mobility HD 5400) generation, and no separate series or codename fields are populated. TSMC fabricates the chip on a 40 nm process, with 292 million transistors inside a 59 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 4.9M/mm². The render pipeline contains 80 shading units, 8 TMUs, and 4 ROPs, with a listed FP32 throughput of 80.00 GFLOPS. It also carries a 7 W TDP and connects through PCIe 2.0 x16. The database records no benchmark scores and no nearest rivals, but places the GPU at the 50th percentile of all GPUs.
Memory Subsystem
The HD 5430 is specified with 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory. The memory bus is 64 bits wide, which is the narrowest class of bus in the data. The memory clock is 800 MHz, with an effective data rate of 1600 Mbps, and the resulting peak bandwidth is 12.80 GB/s. That bandwidth is the entire data path between the GPU and its frame buffer, so high-resolution workloads have a hard ceiling to work against.
The pixel engine is also modest. The 4 ROPs produce 2.000 GPixel/s, while the 8 TMUs provide 4.000 GTexel/s. These fillrates are the other side of the memory equation: even if the 1024 MB capacity is enough to store a large scene, the 64-bit bus and 12.80 GB/s bandwidth will limit how quickly that scene can be read, written, and updated. As resolution increases, more pixel work has to pass through the same 12.80 GB/s pipe and the same 2.000 GPixel/s pixel-output stage. The data therefore points to a memory subsystem suited to lower resolutions and lighter shader loads rather than to high-resolution rendering.
Who Should Consider It
This is a part for portable, low-power systems. The display outputs are listed as Portable Device Dependent, meaning the GPU is intended for integration into devices rather than as a standalone desktop card. The 7 W TDP is the only power figure in the record, and no power connector is listed, which reinforces that placement. The compute envelope is small: 80 shading units and 80.00 GFLOPS FP32 throughput are the main resources available to any workload.
The API profile matters for software compatibility. The GPU supports DirectX 11.2 (11_0) and OpenGL 4.4, so software built around those APIs is within its listed feature set. Vulkan is not present in the API list, so Vulkan-only titles would have no native API path. With 1024 MB GDDR3 and a 64-bit bus, the data suggests modest resolutions and reduced texture detail. There are no benchmark scores to support a specific settings recommendation, but the 50th percentile placement is a median position, not a high-tier one. The production status is end-of-life, so this is not a GPU for new systems. For an older portable system with undemanding visual tasks, the specification profile is a reasonable match.
Benchmark Performance
There is no benchmark section in the data for this GPU. The benchmark list is empty, and the average benchmark score is 0. The nearestRivals array is also empty, which means there are no rival names, no rival scores, and no deltaPct values to calculate exact percentage leads or deficits. The only comparative number in the record is the 50th percentile against all GPUs. That percentile places the HD 5430 at the median of the database distribution, meaning a mid-list position rather than an extreme one.
Without rival scores, the specification rates become the only measurable indicators. The FP32 throughput is 80.00 GFLOPS. The pixel rate is 2.000 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 4.000 GTexel/s. Those are the figures that a benchmark run would exercise, but they are not benchmark results themselves. The data does not support any statement such as “X percent faster than” or “X percent slower than,” because no comparison set exists. What is known is positional: the GPU is at the 50th percentile, with no recorded scores and no listed competitors.

How It Compares
The nearestRivals field contains no entries, so there is no rival with a name, score, or deltaPct value to compare against. The only comparative fact in the record is the 50th percentile versus all GPUs, which is a median placement. Because no rival scores are present, the data cannot express this position as a percentage lead or deficit over any specific card.
The product lineage is visible even without rivals. The HD 5430 follows the M9x line and precedes the Vancouver line, but no scores are recorded for either. Its TeraScale 2 architecture, 40 nm process, 292 million transistors, and 59 mm² die size are the identifying contrasts in the specification data. The total comparison picture is therefore limited: a median all-GPU percentile, an empty rival table, and a small low-power specification profile.
