Nvidia’s upcoming GeForce MX550 mobile GPU struggles to beat Vega integrated graphics.

[{"selector":"#anim-c64dbde8-2a11-4ed3-a649-f6d0d1644fb8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f77c89b0-7d1c-4567-99c8-2ca51b8ac8af","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-360deg) translate3d(-116.39871%, 0px, 0) rotate(360deg)","rotate(-360deg) translate3d(0px, 0px, 0) rotate(360deg)"]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The GeForce MX550 has been spotted in the PassMark benchmark database.

[{"selector":"#anim-bfda340f-9f0a-43df-ac00-fbf473e217b2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b2b2792f-c283-400f-96d2-76d8903b2ae6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-118.66666%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It scored 5014 points in the G3D Mark test.

[{"selector":"#anim-116ea5be-93eb-478e-8517-fb94fefc7f65","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8c91667c-c707-45fe-8555-5f7b3135a950","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.37705%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It's just below a desktop GTX 1050.

[{"selector":"#anim-4a6d4ad8-76f0-4171-8ee2-3641b6429174","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-39bb4f00-983d-4fa8-89af-8c601267654d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.76316%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It is not a powerhouse and struggles to compete with integrated graphics solutions.

[{"selector":"#anim-db7961c5-81a0-4d44-9e84-94dc75f5fac9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d052c368-afff-4958-846c-c8cf4c29981e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.86301%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It is expected to launch in the coming months.

[{"selector":"#anim-41c0b64c-9942-46ed-b3d1-20f2699e7c70","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f303679b-88d5-4fea-8ed0-4239970f7461","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121.23287%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It’s based on the 12nm Turing generation TU117 GPU, found in the desktop GTX 1650.

[{"selector":"#anim-db6c3baf-c6cb-46c0-8a99-f1ab88ae0d74","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bd7c033f-6786-4b9b-a14f-7f3ae1a31107","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-120.89042%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It will be expected to come with 1024 active shaders, 2GB or 4GB of GDDR6 memory.

[{"selector":"#anim-e7d71d82-def7-4458-ad8f-ee3f4f520d8b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-369810c3-7e2d-472e-9738-38a251cbcdb2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.86301%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It’s TDP will be around the 35W mark, which is 10W more than the similar MX450.

[{"selector":"#anim-66c0ed95-07f8-45a5-a075-5f22f2123367","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a486e375-8ab6-4c72-a711-19be544234f4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-120.54795%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It easily beats out the MX450 in Pass Mark, scoring 5014 to 3274.

[{"selector":"#anim-8446608e-03aa-4bc5-a113-be94a8a27cff","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5eeec39b-af78-4713-b0f5-af45a4fd965c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-120.89042%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":100,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It’s just only a single PassMark result yet.

Integrated graphics and Intel’s own upcoming entry level Arc Alchemist GPUs.

It won’t be fast enough to beat AMD 6000 series laptops with RDNA2 graphics.
