The Mobility Radeon HD 550v was a mobile graphics chip by ATI, launched on May 5th, 2010. Built on the 55 nm process, and based on the M96 graphics processor, in its M96 LP variant, the chip supports DirectX 10.1. Since Mobility Radeon HD 550v does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The M96 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 146 mm² and 514 million transistors. It features 320 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. ATI has paired 1,024 MB GDDR3 memory with the Mobility Radeon HD 550v, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 450 MHz, memory is running at 600 MHz. Being a mxm module card, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 550v does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 10 W maximum. This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. Rather it is intended for use in laptop/notebooks and will use the output of the host mobile device. Mobility Radeon HD 550v is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface.
