Radeon X1550: specs and benchmarks

Summary

ATI started Radeon X1550 sales on 2007. This is a desktop graphics card based on an Ultra-Threaded SE architecture and made with 90 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 256 MB of DDR2 memory clocked at 800 MBps are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 12.8 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via PCIe 1.0 x16 interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 27 Watt.
