The new AMD RX 5500 graphics cards based on the Navi 14 GPU will be released very soon, however, according to the information received earlier, out of 24 computing units of the chip, only 22 will remain active.

But a full-fledged GPU still found its purpose. According to official information from AMD itself, among the filling of the new Apple MacBook Pro, there will be either a Radeon Pro 5500M graphics card based on a full-fledged AMD Navi 14 chip containing 24 computing units, which is equivalent to 1536 stream processors, or a Radeon RX Pro 5300 with 20 units.

AMD has officially announced both, the Radeon Pro 5500M and Radeon Pro 5300M mobile GPUs for Apple’s 16″ MacBook Pro. As expected, the AMD Radeon Pro 5500M comes with 24 CUs & 8 GB GDDR6 memory while the Radeon Pro 5300M features 20 CUs and 4 GB GDDR6 memory. The mobility GPUs are rated to feature up to 4.0 TFLOPs of FP32 performance and feature a TGP of 50 Watts.

AMD distinguished itself with something similar in the past with the RX 460 video card, which also had several computing units disabled. And most interestingly, its full-fledged Polaris 11 chip also exclusively became the heart of the video card for Apple.

It seems that AMD has improved in almost all market segments, which is good news.
