Verdict

The AMD Radeon Pro 555 is a professional mobile graphics card launched in June 2017, built on a 14 nm process and based on the Polaris 21 architecture. It features 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, 16 ROPs, and 2 GB of GDDR5 memory connected via a 128-bit interface, delivering a memory bandwidth of 81.6 GB/s and a peak floating-point performance of 1.3 TFLOPS. Its main characteristics include support for DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan, with a power consumption rated at approximately 35W to 75W depending on implementation. Main pros include its suitability for professional CAD and CGI workloads in slim laptops like the mid-2017 MacBook Pro 15 and its support for multi-display setups and ECC memory. However, cons include its limited 2 GB VRAM, which is often insufficient for modern gaming or high-resolution textures, and performance that is now considered entry-level compared to contemporary dedicated GPUs.
