Yeah, it's not the fastest on the globe, but among the smaller ones. It is is shorter than Mini-ITX motherboard and only 152mm in length. Since it does not require an auxiliary power connector, it is ideal for compact PCs that use the Mini-ITX case.

The VGA cooler is a single fan cooler with a large-diameter fan, and supports the semi-fanless function "Mute fan technology" that stops the fan at less than 60°C. The main specifications are a whopping 512 stream processors, core boost clock 1,071MHz, memory speed 6.0Gbps, memory bus width 128bit, and GDDR5 4GB video memory. The output interface is HDMI2.0x1, DisplayPort1.4x1, DVI-Dx1. The card size is 152 mm long, 111.2 mm wide, 38 mm thick and weighs 331 g. The bus interface is PCI-Express3.0 (x8/x16 shape).

Another non-interesting GPU launch. MSI already makes RX 550 4GB cards the same length AND they are low profile.

Maybe not for you, but these cards are interesting for people who got OEM PC's with limited power where a bit more GPU power is wanted.
I agree on that it is a odd not to include a low profile bracket, but then again, a lot of these low power cards ship with standard brackets only.
