The Radeon RX 550 640SP is a graphics card by AMD, launched on October 13th, 2017. Built on the 14 nm process, and based on the Baffin graphics processor, in its Baffin LE variant, the card supports DirectX 12. This ensures that all modern games will run on Radeon RX 550 640SP. The Baffin graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 123 mm² and 3,000 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked Radeon RX 460 1024SP, which uses the same GPU but has all 1024 shaders enabled, AMD has disabled some shading units on the Radeon RX 550 640SP to reach the product's target shader count. It features 640 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. AMD has paired 2,048 MB GDDR5 memory with the Radeon RX 550 640SP, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1019 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1071 MHz, memory is running at 1500 MHz (6 Gbps effective).
Being a dual-slot card, the AMD Radeon RX 550 640SP does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 60 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x HDMI 2.0b, 1x DisplayPort 1.4a. Radeon RX 550 640SP is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x8 interface. The card measures 145 mm in length, and features a dual-slot cooling solution.
