AMD Radeon RX 5500 Marketing Sheets Reveal a bit More About the Card

7nm
22 RDNA CUs
128bit GDDR (224 GB/s)
TDP of 110W
Clocked at 1670Mhz with 1845Mhz boost.

It is supposed to thoroughly spank 1650 (which is anyways already beaten by 570) which, if figures are true, includes its "super" variation which is only 10% faster than base:

Interesting is how AMD presents it's GPU stack, 570,580,590 are nowhere to be seen, 560 and below are still there:

Perhaps even more exciting is 5500M chip, as a solid discrete mobile GPU.

compared against a 1650 lol. please wait will i get excited...
Well, why?
5700 and 5700XT are there, with notably better perf/$ than NV oferrings.
This covers lower end and is priced accordingly.

should've compared with 1660/ti/super even if it's underperforms in someway with any of the variant.
 
Because the market desperately needs competition in the enthusiast segment.

Well ... enthusiasts desperately need competition in the enthusiast segment. What the market desperately needs is competition in the volume segments.

And what enthusiasts actually want, by and large, isn't an AMD card it's for the price of their Nvidia cards to come down.

AMD are right to attack the market in terms of being competitive and profitable. They can wait until they have exactly the right card - not to mention volumes and vendor support and software support more in their favour - until they go after the enthusiast segment. Some time next year will do just fine, so long as they're using their resources effectively in the mean time.

Only THAT PART of the market, which is what fraction of the total market? Not even 5%?


Where's the 5500XT?
AMD has explicitly mentioned that 22 is not "full" chip. Anand stated:

Drilling down, according to AMD the RX 5500 Series of cards are not using a fully-enabled Navi 14 GPU. The company isn’t clarifying just what a fully-enabled GPU is, but RX 5500 and its 22 CUs isn’t it. Given what we know about die sizes, AMD couldn’t have fused off too many units here, so it’s a fair assumption that a full Navi 14 GPU will come with 24 or 26 CUs.

Probably not the best idea to give the 520 and 530 cards half a mark in web browsing. It just makes it look like they barely function at all.
