AMD has some goodies in store for us just before Christmas this year. They are launching their 1080p-focused RX 5500 XT GPU and with it, the new Adrenalin 2020 driver. The new driver is said to bring performance up across a few titles, a redesigned GUI, and more.

AMD is also releasing an RX 5500 GPU that is strictly for OEM systems, and they also touched on their RX 5600 XT GPU which is slated for January 2020.
Specifications

These new cards are based on AMD’s “NAVI” core, using their all-new RDNA architecture. Built around the new 7 nm process from TSMC, AMD claims their new 1080p card delivers 1.6X performance per watt when compared to their previous GCN offerings.

The new RX 5500 XT will not be offered as a Reference model and will only be available through AIB partners. They are offering 8 GB and 4 GB versions, and as you can see above it has been widely adopted by their partners and will be available in stores on 12/12/2019.

The RX 5500 XT is intended for 1080p gaming and the core has been pared down to 22 Compute Units (CU) and 1408 Stream Processors (SP) from the 40 CU and 2560 SP found in the RX 5700 XT.

The sample we received is GIGABYTE’s Gaming OC version which has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory. GIGABYTE is using four Micron 2 GB IC’s running over a 128-bit bus which delivers 224 GB/s of total bandwidth.
