About the AMD Radeon HD 7570M GPU

The AMD Radeon HD 7570M is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q1 2012. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Thames) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The HD 7570M has 1,024 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 800 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 25.6 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 7570M includes 480 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 450 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 650 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 13 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The HD 7570M has the 479th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.79% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

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.
