Radeon R7 360 vs Radeon RX 550: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon R7 360 vs Radeon RX 550
The Radeon R7 360 is dramatically faster, around 50% ahead of the Radeon RX 550. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The Radeon R7 360 packs 768 stream processors versus 640 on the Radeon RX 550.
Power & Efficiency
At 50W against 100W, the Radeon RX 550 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern GCN 4.0 (Polaris) architecture on a GloFo 14nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
Generation & Longevity
The Radeon RX 550 is roughly 2 years newer than the Radeon R7 360 (GCN 4.0 (Polaris) vs GCN 2.0), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
