Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of Radeon RX 580 (móvel) specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The Radeon RX 580 (móvel) scores 8,000 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Budget tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the GCN 4.0 (2016−2020) architecture (codename: Polaris 20), manufactured on a 14 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 2304 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 144 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 32 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 4.963 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1077 MHz from a base of 1000 MHz.
