Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of Radeon R5 435 specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The Radeon R5 435 scores 762 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the GCN 1.0 (2012−2020) architecture (codename: Jet), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 320 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 20 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 8 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 0.6592 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1030 MHz from a base of 780 MHz.
