AMD’s Radeon Pro 5600M is a new video card that has never appeared in a laptop before. It is the first Navi GPU for laptops that is combined with hbm2. The other Navi video cards in MacBooks have gddr6 memory. Due to the 2048-bit memory interface, hbm2 has a much higher memory bandwidth of 394GB/s. The Radeon Pro 5500M and Pro 5300M reach 192GB/s. In addition to faster memory, the 5600M has more compute units, but the clock speed is lower, presumably to limit consumption.
