Nvidia’s upcoming cell GPU, the GeForce MX550 has been noticed within the PassMark benchmark database. This chip scored 5014 factors within the G3D Mark take a look at, which is simply above the Vega 8 GPU discovered within the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS and slightly below a desktop GTX 1050.
The consequence, noticed by @TUM_APISAK (through Techradar) exhibits that the MX550 just isn’t precisely a gaming powerhouse and struggles to compete with built-in graphics options.
The GeForce MX550 is predicted to launch within the coming months. It’s based mostly on the 12nm Turing technology TU117 GPU, which is discovered within the desktop GTX 1650 and GeForce MX450 amongst others. It’s anticipated to return outfitted with 1024 lively shaders and 2GB or 4GB of GDDR6 reminiscence. The TDP determine hasn’t been disclosed, although we’d count on it to finish up across the 35W mark, which is 10W greater than the same MX450.
On the intense aspect, the MX550 simply beats out the MX450 in PassMark, scoring 5014 to 3274. After all, it’s laborious to guage an excessive amount of from a single PassMark consequence. Whereas we’re proud of the generational uplift, we’ve to marvel what place there may be for the MX550 and for that matter, entry stage discrete GPUs in any respect.
The competitors for the MX550 isn’t the MX450, however built-in graphics and Intel’s personal upcoming entry stage Arc Alchemist GPUs. It barely matches AMD’s growing old Vega built-in graphics and it nearly definitely gained’t be quick sufficient to beat AMD 6000 sequence laptops with RDNA2 graphics.
Nvidia’s quicker laptop computer GPUs will stay fascinating for the gaming efficiency they provide, however we’re left questioning how Nvidia can have a lot of an influence outdoors of the gaming market. There’s a threat that Nvidia will bleed market share within the face of sturdy competitors within the entry and mid vary markets.
Simply think about how various things may be if Nvidia managed to buy ARM, as with out an x86 CPU license, Nvidia might discover it more and more tough to muscle its means into mainstream methods that function AMD and Intel CPUs and GPUs.
By no means write off an organization like Nvidia although.
