About the AMD Radeon HD 6550M GPU
The AMD Radeon HD 6550M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q4 2010. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Capilano) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Memory
The HD 6550M has 1,024 MB of DDR3 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 28.8 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The HD 6550M includes 400 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 600 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 20 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 26 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The HD 6550M has the 457th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.95% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
About the NVIDIA Quadro P4000 Max-Q GPU
The NVIDIA Quadro P4000 Max-Q is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2017. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP104) and is manufactured on a 16 nm process.
Memory
The P4000 Max-Q has 8 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,502 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 192.3 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The P4000 Max-Q includes 1,792 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,114 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,228 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 112 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 100 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
Benchmark Performance
The P4000 Max-Q has the 139th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 15.14% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
