The Radeon RX 5700 is the second of AMD’s new Navi 10 graphics cards, sporting the new and improved RDNA architecture, and playing second fiddle to the RX 5700 XT’s leading role. It’s a story we’ve seen many times—the RX 570 was a modest step down from the RX 580, same for Vega 56 compared to Vega 64. If you prefer the Nvidia side of things, it’s a bit like the GTX 1660 versus the GTX 1660 Ti. Sporting a last-minute price drop, the direct competition is the RTX 2060.
The RX 5700 uses the same Navi 10 GPU as the other 5700 models, but AMD disables four CUs and 256 cores, as well as dropping the boost clock by 180MHz. That’s typical for the second-tier product for any GPU, and the reason comes down to chip yields. RX 5700 cards likely won’t hit the same clock speeds as the 5700 XT, no matter how hard you try to overclock.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
