NVIDIA Quadro P3000 vs NVIDIA Quadro P1000

NVIDIA Quadro P3000

The Nvidia Quadro P3000 is a mobile high-end workstation graphics card for notebooks. Similar to the consumer GeForce GTX 1060 (Laptop), it is based on the GP106 chip with 1280 shaders. The graphics card is designed for the Kaby Lake generation and is the successor to the Quadro M3000M (Maxwell). However, the P3000 is equipped with 6 GB GDDR5 video memory (at a lower bandwidth), while GTX 1060 is available with 3 or 6 GB. The clock rates range from 1088 MHz (base) to 1215 MHz (typical Boost) to 1240 MHz (max.).

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.

Performance

The theoretical performance should be on par with the GTX 1060 (if the clocks did not take a massive hit), so the GPU should be significantly faster than the previous M3000M.

Power Consumption

The power consumption of the Quadro P3000 is 75 Watts TGP (including memory) or 55.3 W TDP according to Nvidia, so the card is suited for 15-inch notebooks or larger.

NVIDIA Quadro P1000

The Nvidia Quadro P1000 is a mobile entry-level workstation graphics card for notebooks. Similar to the consumer GeForce GTX 1050 (Laptop), it is based on the GP107 chip but offers only 512 shaders (1050 offers 640, 1050 Ti 768). The graphics card is designed for the Kaby Lake / Coffee Lake generation.

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.

Performance

The theoretical performance should be below the GeForce GTX 1050 due to the lower shader count.
