The Radeon RX 560X Mobile is a mobile graphics chip by AMD, launched on April 11th, 2018. Built on the 14 nm process, and based on the Polaris 21 graphics processor, in its Polaris 21M XT variant, the chip supports DirectX 12. This ensures that all modern games will run on Radeon RX 560X Mobile. The Polaris 21 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 123 mm² and 3,000 million transistors. It features 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. AMD has paired 2,048 MB GDDR5 memory with the Radeon RX 560X Mobile, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1175 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1202 MHz, memory is running at 1500 MHz (6 Gbps effective).
Being a mxm module card, the AMD Radeon RX 560X Mobile does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 65 W maximum. This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. Rather it is intended for use in laptop/notebooks and will use the output of the host mobile device.
