Apparantly it is an OEM card, with 4GB of GDDR5.

I don't know. I would guess there is not much info because it is an OEM card.

Identical to an RX550 640, not to be confused with the RX550 512

Just rebadging of an older card to make it seem more up to date.

Like finding the GTX 1060 5GB or the GTX 950 OEM (faster GPU, slower memory)

Occasionally you can also see cards made for the Asian market only show up in listings. There are two different RX590 for example. Or the recent global launch of the 7900 GRE.

There are always these very basic, entry-level OEM GPUs that people don't talk about. Their availability is usually extremely limited, mainly to cheap entry-level prebuilts.
