Here, we see the raw details of the new 5500 XT GPU. As you can see it drops from the 40 compute units on the 5700 XT to 22 on this model which is expected. One surprise to me was the Powercolor card employing three display outputs, one of which being DVI.
There are a few notable additions for the Radeon software stack which we will be covering in the proceeding pages. Integer display scaling, AMD boost, DirectML Media Filters, and even AMD link are all notable new items while there are also several updates to existing tech we covered in our 5700/5700 XT launch reviews.
