The Nvidia Quadro P5000 Max-Q (official Nvidia Quadro P5000 with Max-Q Design) is a mobile high-end workstation graphics card for notebooks. It is the power efficient variant of the normal Quadro P5000 for laptops and offers slightly reduced clock speeds (1101 - 1366 MHz versus 1164 - 1506 MHz) and a greatly reduced power consumption (80 versus 100 Watt TGP). Similar to the consumer GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q (Laptop), it is based on a slimmed-down GP104 chip with 2048 shaders. The graphics card is designed for the Kaby 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 slightly below the normal Quadro P4000 due to the reduced clock speeds.
Power Consumption
With an TGP of 80 Watt, the P5000 Max-Q is only slightly higher rated (5 Watt) as the much slower Quadro P3000 (75 Watt) and therefore similar sized laptops can use the P5000 Max-Q.
The Nvidia Quadro RTX 3000 with Max-Q Design is a professional high-end graphics card for powerful laptops and mobile workstations. It is based on the same TU106 chip as the consumer GeForce RTX 2070 (mobile) but with reduced clock speeds, shader count and memory bandwidth. Compared to the normal mobile RTX3000, the Max-Q variants are clocked lower and work in a more efficient state. Currently, we know of three variants with different clock speeds and power consumptions (60, 65 and 70 W).
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 TU106 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 3000 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
In professional applications, the Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q can be faster GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q due to the optimized drivers and bigger VRAM. When gaming with the RTX 3000, the slower clock speeds and less frequently updated drivers should hinder the performance compared to the GeForce variant.
The still relatively high power consumption of the RTX3000 Max-Q makes the card most suited for big laptops. However, we should see thinner designs with the Max-Q variants than the regular RTX 3000.
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.

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.
