The Nvidia T600 Laptop GPU (or Quadro T600 for laptops) is a professional mobile graphics card that is based on the Turing architecture (TU117 chip). It is similar to the consumer GTX 1650 with 896 CUDA cores and a 128 Bit memory bus for GDDR6 graphics memory (10 Gbits). The chip is manufactured in 12nm FinFET at TSMC. The T600 was introduced as a refresh together with the T1200 and should be slightly slower than the older Quadro T1000 (2.6 versus 2.5 TFLOPS peak SP performance).
The Turing generation did not only introduce raytracing for the RTX cards, but also optimized the architecture of the cores and caches. According to Nvidia the CUDA cores offer now a concurrent execution of floating point and integer operations for increased performance in compute-heavy workloads of modern games.
Furthermore, the caches were reworked (new unified memory architecture with twice the cache compared to Pascal). This leads to up to 50% more instructions per clock and a 40% more power efficient usage compared to Pascal. In contrary to the faster Quadro RTX cards, the T600 do not feature raytracing and Tensor cores.
Currently Nvidia only specifies the TDP of 25 Watt (the older T1000 had a TGP of 40-50 Watt). Therefore, the T600 should be well suited for thin and light laptops.
The Nvidia Quadro RTX 6000 for laptops is a professional high-end graphics card for big and powerful laptops and mobile workstations. It is based on the same TU102 chip as the consumer GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. Compared to the desktop RTX 6000, the mobile variant offers lower clock speeds.
The Quadro GPUs offer certified drivers, which are optimized for stability and performance in professional applications (CAD, DCC, medical, prospection, and visualizing applications). The performance in these areas is therefore much better compared to corresponding consumer GPUs.
Features
NVIDIA manufacturers the TU102 chip on a 12 nm FinFET process and includes features like Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) and Real-Time Ray Tracing (RTRT), which should combine to create more realistic lighting effects than older GPUs based on the company's Pascal architecture (if the games support it). The Quadro RTX 6000 is also DisplayPort 1.4 ready, while there is also support for HDMI 2.0b, HDR, Simultaneous Multi-Projection (SMP) and H.265 video en/decoding (PlayReady 3.0).
Performance
Due to the lower clock speeds, the mobile RTX 6000 lags slightly behind the desktop version with the same name. Nvidia states for example that a desktop system using the RTX 6000 is on average 13% faster in the SPECviewperf13 4k benchmark.
Due to the extremely high power consumption of 200 Watt (TDP), the mobile Quadro RTX 6000 needs an excellent cooling solution and will be used only in big laptops.
The Nvidia T1200 Laptop GPU (or Quadro T1200 for laptops) is a professional mobile graphics card that is based on the Turing architecture (TU117 chip). Compared to the consumer GTX 1650 Ti, the T1200 features more CUDA cores / shaders (1024 versus 896). The Quadro T2000 uses the same TU117 chip, but features all 1024 cores (2x to the T1000) and is therefore significantly faster. The chip is manufactured in 12nm FinFET at TSMC. The T1200 was introduced as a refresh to the Quadro T1000 together with the new Ampere RTX A workstation cards like the faster Nvidia RTX A2000.
It is available in different variants from 35 - 95 Watt (TGP) with different clock speeds (and performance). The GPU supports DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 for external connections.
There is no more Max-Q variant (formerly used for the low power variants) but every OEM can choose to implement Max-Q 3.0 technologies (Dynamic Boost, WhisperMode).
The Turing generation did not only introduce raytracing for the RTX cards, but also optimized the architecture of the cores and caches. According to Nvidia the CUDA cores offer now a concurrent execution of floating point and integer operations for increased performance in compute-heavy workloads of modern games.

This leads to up to 50% more instructions per clock and a 40% more power efficient usage compared to Pascal. In contrary to the faster Quadro RTX cards, the T1000 and T2000 do not feature raytracing and Tensor cores.
When configured as a slow 35W variant, the T1200 is also suited for thin and light laptops.
