The AMD Radeon RX 5300M is Team Red's lowest rung offering in the Navi lineup. The RX 5300M is essentially a gimped RX 5500M, and this could very well be AMD's best possible achievement with Navi 14 in terms of improved power efficiency even if it does come with a performance penalty. That being said, the RX 5300M looks to be an excellent alternative to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 series and will likely be lapped-up by many laptop OEMs in the coming months for introducing affordable yet fairly capable gaming laptops.

We should mention one thing here, though. Synthetics tell only half the story and these scores may not reflect real-world gaming performance. The Radeon RX 5500M performs, on an average, somewhere between the GTX 1650 and GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q in gaming. Therefore, even though the RX 5300M seems to have outdone the GTX 1650 in synthetics, we would still keep our expectations tempered with respect to games, where we suspect the GTX 1650 could still have an edge thanks to its higher clocks and memory.
