AMD Broadens Its Battle Against NVIDIA
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) made a splash earlier this year when it launched the RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT graphics cards. Priced at $349 and $399, respectively, after a prelaunch price cut, the cards beat comparably priced products from NVIDIA on performance. That's something that hasn't happened in many years.
On Monday, AMD announced the next step in its graphics comeback. The RX 5500, available in both desktop and laptop versions, will battle NVIDIA's $149 GTX 1650. AMD hasn't announced pricing, but given how aggressive the company has been so far with its 5000-series cards, AMD will likely aim to make the RX 5500 a better value than NVIDIA's offering.
