RDNA 2 (or 3) will be debut end of this year in AMD APU so... nVidia should probably launch something interesting by then, or the MX series will become 100% irrelevant.
This article reads like a piece straight off of nVidia's PR teleprompter.
Literally every tech news outlets out there is correctly noting how it's barely faster than AMD's Vega8 iGPU but no, here we're being told that it's impressive actually! And if you think it isn't just don't comare it to modern stuff, cause that's uNfAIr gUyS!!1
It's pretty clear with the impending launches of Intel mobile dGPUs and AMD's Rembrand (as well as their own increasingly aggressive mobile dGPU lineups) that nVidia will be bleeding entire segments of it's mobile market.
Not unfair at all. Nvidia chose to continue using an older core, so that's their problem. The fact is the MX550, regardless of the age of the tech it's built on, is in fact their current-gen offering, so it's completely fair to compare it to others.
The Nvidia GeForce MX550 laptop graphics card has shown up on the PassMark benchmark database. It nets an overall score of 5,014, which is 37% faster than the GeForce MX450. The entry-level graphics card runs a TU117 GPU, but the rest of its specs are unknown.
