NVIDIA Quadro P4000 vs NVIDIA Quadro P3200 vs NVIDIA Quadro P5200

NVIDIA Quadro P4000

The Nvidia Quadro P4000 is a mobile high-end workstation graphics card for notebooks. There is currently no consumer counterpart and the GPU is sitting between the Quadro P3000 (GTX 1060) and Quadro P5000 (GTX 1070). It is equipped with 1792 shaders and should therefore use the same GP104 chip from the P5000 (2048 shaders). It has 8 GB GDDR-VRAM at the same bandwidth and has the similar 100-Watt TGP according to Nvidia.

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.

NVIDIA Quadro P3200

The Nvidia Quadro P3200 is a mobile high-end workstation graphics card for notebooks. As the slightly faster Quadro P4000, it is based on the GP104 chip and uses 1792 CUDA cores. The memory bus however is slightly narrower at 192 versus 256 Bit. The clock rate should be similar, as Nvidia also specifies 5.3 TFLOPs of peak performance.

Performance

The performance should be slightly below the older Quadro P4000, due to the same peak performance of the shaders but a slower memory bus. Compared to the old Quadro M3000M, the P3200 should offer a 93% better overall performance in SpecViewPerf 12.

Power Consumption

The power consumption of the Quadro P3200 is 75 Watts TGP (including memory)  and therefore similar to the Quadro P3000.

NVIDIA Quadro P5200

The Nvidia Quadro P5200 is a mobile high-end workstation graphics card for laptops. Similar to the consumer GeForce GTX 1080 (Laptop), it is based on a GP104 chip with 2560 shaders but uses a bit slower GDDR5 instead of GDDR5X of the GTX1080. The Quadro P5200 ist the successor to the Quadro P5000. There will be a normal (Max-P) and a slower but more efficient (Max-Q) variant of the card. For the Max-P variant, the clock speeds are specified from 1556 (base) to 1746 MHz (Boost), the power efficient Max-Q clocks from 1316 MHz (base) to 1569 (Boost) according to a GPU-Z screenshot from a reader (-15% / -10%). The 16 GB GDDR5 are clocked at 3,6 GHz leading to a memory bandwidth of 230 GB/s.

Performance

The theoretical performance should be a bit above the older Quadro P5000. Altough the clock speed increase is not yet known, the power consumption is rumored to be a lot higher, which should lead to a noticable improved performance. Nvidia specifies a theoretical peak performance of 8,9 GFLOPS (Single Precision).

Power Consumption

The power consumption of the Quadro P5200 is specified by Nvidia as 150 Watt (Max-P) and rumored to be 100 - 110 Watt for the Max-Q variant. Therefore, it is a lot higher than the Quadro P5000 versions (100 Watt and 80 Watt).
