About the AMD Radeon R5 (Kaveri) GPU

The AMD Radeon R5 (Kaveri) is an end-of-life integrated graphics card that released in Q3 2014. It is built on the GCN 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Spectre SL) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The R5 includes 256 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 497 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 626 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 15 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The R5 has the 469th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.86% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the AMD Radeon R4 (Stoney) GPU

The AMD Radeon R4 (Stoney) is an end-of-life integrated graphics card that released in Q2 2016. It is built on the GCN 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Stoney) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The R4 has System Shared of memory. This gives it a memory bandwidth of System Dependent, 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 R4 includes 192 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 200 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 655 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 12 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 15 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The R4 has the 460th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.93% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
