There will be three models in the new range. The RX 5500M will be the base model, with M most likely denoting a mobile version and the RX 5500 will be the standard model in the range. However, there will also be a Radeon RX 5500 XT leading the pack. However, we suspect the main difference is 4GB vs 8GB models. Undoubtedly they’re targeted at 1080p gaming and mid-range 1440p performance too.

With 8GB of GDDR6 over a 128-bit bus, the card should perform close to the RX 580 in regards to memory performance. However, it should beat that cards overall performance given the 7nm process. The card features 6.4Bn transistors vs the 5.7Bn found on Polaris.
