Even the weaker 80W variant can eat this 5500M for breakfast. Keep in mind that thing has a 256-bit memory bus, and it is using 12nm process.
The RX5500M running on MSI Alpha 15 consumes 80w to reach its performance level. Don't believe there will be a Macbook that can let its gpu run at 80w.

Quote from: tezae on November 03, 2019, 21:24:04Incorrect; Apple used NVIDIA cards until 2014. Their last NVIDIA-equipped iMacs and Macbooks had the GT 750M as an option.
Worth to know that Apple never used nVidia cards.
So the comparison to 1660TI Max-Q is useless.
So far best gpu in Macbooks was Vega 20 with 4GB HBM .
RX5500M with the 22 CU with 8GB RAM and much better ipc will give big upgrade.
Im not an apple user so will not buy this overpriced laptop anyway but fans should no worry about the performance.
