Today, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) announced the Radeon™ RX 5500 series
graphics products, harnessing groundbreaking RDNA gaming
architecture to deliver the ultimate in high-performance,
high-fidelity 1080p gaming.
The AMD Radeon™ RX 5500 series includes the Radeon™ RX 5500
graphics card that will be available in desktop PCs from leading
manufacturers and graphics cards from board partners, as well as
the Radeon™ RX 5500M GPU for notebook PCs. Top system providers
worldwide are embracing the new products, with HP and Lenovo™
planning to offer Radeon™ RX 5500 graphics cards in their
high-performance desktop gaming PCs beginning this November, and
Acer planning to offer systems with the cards beginning this
December. In addition, later this month MSI is expected to launch
the world’s first gaming notebook powered by AMD Ryzen™ processors
and Radeon™ RX 5500M GPUs.
“Based on feedback and insights from global gaming communities,
gamers rank graphics as the most critical component for speed and
performance,” said Johnson Jia, senior vice president and general
manager, Consumer Business of Intelligent Devices Group, Lenovo.
“That’s why the Lenovo Legion™ T730 and T530 gaming towers and the
IdeaCentre™ T540 Gaming desktop pack in AMD’s latest Radeon™ RX
graphics – satisfying players’ need for high-fidelity visuals and
lightning-fast framerates to fully immerse into their
gameplay.”
“MSI Alpha 15 is a new chapter for us, and we're excited to
partner with AMD to combine the latest 7nm technology found in the
Radeon™ RX 5500M GPU and MSI’s gaming DNA for our gamers,” said
Charles Chiang, CEO of MSI.
With the newest additions to the Radeon™ family, AMD is bringing
its advanced RDNA gaming architecture and industry-leading 7nm
process technology to legions of mainstream gamers worldwide in
exciting new form factors and systems. Powered by RDNA, the Radeon™
RX 5500 provides up to 1.6X higher gaming performance-per-watt than
current Radeon™ graphics cards based on the Graphics Core Next
(GCN) architecture3.
The AMD Radeon™ RX 5500 series was built from the ground up to
deliver incredible 1080p gaming, high-fidelity visuals and
ultra-responsive gameplay. Optimized to deliver incredible
experiences on the hottest games, the Radeon™ RX 5500 graphics card
provides up to 37 percent faster performance on average than the
competitive product in select titles at 1080p1. For mobile gaming,
a laptop configured with the Radeon™ RX 5500M GPU provides up to 30
percent faster performance on average than the competition, and
delivers up to 60+ FPS in select AAA titles and up to 90+ FPS in
select eSports games4.
“It’s been incredible to see the response to our RDNA
architecture from gamers worldwide, and now we’re bringing the same
high-framerate, dynamic gameplay and advanced features to 1080p
gaming with the Radeon™ RX 5500 series,” said Scott Herkelman,
corporate vice president and general manager, Radeon Technologies
Group at AMD. “AMD is committed to delivering incredible gaming
experiences to all gamers across all price-points. Whether fighting
the Calypso twins in Borderlands 3 or battling to take back Auroa
in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon® Breakpoint, the Radeon™ RX 5500 series
allows every gamer to feel fully immersed and lose themselves in
these beautiful and complex worlds.”
Built on industry-leading 7nm process technology and supporting
high-bandwidth PCIe® 4.0 technology, the new AMD Radeon™ products
take advantage of powerful features to bring 1080p gameplay to the
next level, including:
- Radeon™ Image Sharpening (RIS)5 – Brings
crispness and clarity to in-game visuals that have been softened by
upscaling and post-process effects in DirectX® 9, 12 and Vulkan®
titles. When paired with Radeon™ GPU upscaling, RIS enables sharp
visuals and fluid frame rates on high-resolution displays.
- AMD FidelityFX – Offers an open-source toolkit
for game developers to add high-quality post-process effects to
help make games look beautiful while offering the optimal balance
of visual fidelity and performance. Available on GPUOpen,
FidelityFX features Contrast-Adaptive Sharpening (CAS), which draws
out detail in low-contrast areas while minimizing artifacts caused
by typical image sharpening routines.
- Radeon™ Anti-Lag6 – Anti-Lag significantly
decreases input-to-display response times, including making
Borderlands 3 up to 23 percent more responsive7 with Radeon™ RX
5500 series graphics and offering a competitive edge in
gameplay.
- Largest gaming display ecosystem8 – With over
950 supported monitors to choose from, gamers can enjoy
stutter-free, tear-free gameplay with AMD Radeon FreeSync™9 and
Radeon FreeSync™ 2 HDR technology10.

Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are
commonly identified by words such as "would," "intends,"
"believes," "expects," "may," "will," "should," "seeks," "intends,"
"plans," "pro forma," "estimates," "anticipates," or the negative
of these words and phrases, other variations of these words and
phrases or comparable terminology. Investors are cautioned that the
forward-looking statements in this document are based on current
beliefs, assumptions and expectations, speak only as of the date of
this document and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Such
statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and
uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally
beyond AMD's control, that could cause actual results and other
future events to differ materially from those expressed in, or
implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and
statements. Material factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from current expectations include, without
limitation, the following: Intel Corporation’s dominance of the
microprocessor market and its aggressive business practices may
limit AMD’s ability to compete effectively; AMD has a wafer supply
agreement with GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF) with obligations
to purchase all of its microprocessor and APU product requirements,
and a certain portion of its GPU product requirements, manufactured
at process nodes larger than 7 nanometer from GF with limited
exceptions. If GF is not able to satisfy AMD’s manufacturing
requirements, AMD’s business could be adversely impacted; AMD
relies on third parties to manufacture its products, and if they
are unable to do so on a timely basis in sufficient quantities and
using competitive technologies, AMD’s business could be materially
adversely affected; failure to achieve expected manufacturing
yields for AMD’s products could negatively impact its financial
results; the success of AMD’s business is dependent upon its
ability to introduce products on a timely basis with features and
performance levels that provide value to its customers while
supporting and coinciding with significant industry transitions; if
AMD cannot generate sufficient revenue and operating cash flow or
obtain external financing, it may face a cash shortfall and be
unable to make all of its planned investments in research and
development or other strategic investments; the loss of a
significant customer may have a material adverse effect on AMD;
AMD’s receipt of revenue from its semi-custom SoC products is
dependent upon its technology being designed into third-party
products and the success of those products; global economic and
market uncertainty may adversely impact AMD’s business and
operating results; AMD’s products may be subject to security
vulnerabilities that could have a material adverse effect on AMD;
IT outages, data loss, data breaches and cyber-attacks could
compromise AMD’s intellectual property or other sensitive
information, be costly to remediate and cause significant damage to
its business, reputation and operations; AMD’s operating results
are subject to quarterly and seasonal sales patterns; AMD may not
be able to generate sufficient cash to service its debt obligations
or meet its working capital requirements; AMD has a large amount of
indebtedness which could adversely affect its financial position
and prevent it from implementing its strategy or fulfilling its
contractual obligations; the agreements governing AMD’s notes and
the Secured Revolving Line of Credit impose restrictions on AMD
that may adversely affect AMD’s ability to operate its business;
the markets in which AMD’s products are sold are highly
competitive; AMD’s worldwide operations are subject to political,
legal and economic risks and natural disasters, which could have a
material adverse effect on it; the conversion of the 2.125%
Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 may dilute the ownership interest
of AMD’s existing stockholders, or may otherwise depress the price
of its common stock; uncertainties involving the ordering and
shipment of AMD’s products could materially adversely affect it;
the demand for AMD’s products depends in part on the market
conditions in the industries into which they are sold. Fluctuations
in demand for AMD’s products or a market decline in any of these
industries could have a material adverse effect on its results of
operations; AMD’s ability to design and introduce new products in a
timely manner is dependent upon third-party intellectual property;
AMD depends on third-party companies for the design, manufacture
and supply of motherboards, software and other computer platform
components to support its business; if AMD loses Microsoft
Corporation’s support for its products or other software vendors do
not design and develop software to run on AMD’s products, its
ability to sell its products could be materially adversely
affected; and AMD’s reliance on third-party distributors and
add-in-board partners subjects it to certain risks. Investors are
urged to review in detail the risks and uncertainties in
AMD's Securities and Exchange Commission filings,
including but not limited to AMD's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended June 29, 2019.
