NVIDIA Quadro P5000 vs NVIDIA Quadro P4000 Max-Q vs NVIDIA Quadro P2000

NVIDIA Quadro P5000

The Nvidia Quadro P5000 is a mobile high-end workstation graphics card for notebooks. Similar to the consumer GeForce GTX 1070 (Laptop), it is based on a slimmed-down GP104 chip with 2048 shaders. The graphics card is designed for the Kaby Lake generation and is the successor to the Quadro M5000M (Maxwell). However, the P5000 is equipped with 16 GB GDDR5 video memory (at a lower bandwidth), while GTX 1070 is limited to 8 GB. The clock rates range between 1164 MHz (base) to 1506 MHz (typical Boost) and up to 1657 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 1070 (if the clocks did not take a massive hit), so the GPU should be significantly faster than the previous M5000M. Even the old M5500M could be beaten.

Power Consumption

The power consumption of the Quadro P5000 is similar to the old Quadro M5000M at 100 Watts TGP (max power consumption incl. memory) resp. 73.4 W TDP according to Nvidia. The card is therefore suited for large 17-inch notebooks.

NVIDIA Quadro P4000 Max-Q

The Nvidia Quadro P4000 Max-Q (official Nvidia Quadro P4000 with Max-Q Design) 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). The Max-Q version is a power efficient variant of the normal Quadro P4000 with lower clock rates (1113 - 1240 versus 1202 - ?) and a much reduced power consumption (80 versus 100 Watt TGP).

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 P2000

The Nvidia Quadro P2000 is a mobile mid-range workstation graphics card for notebooks. Similar to the consumer GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Laptop), it is based on the GP107 chip with 768 shaders. 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 similar with the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (if the clocks did not take a massive hit).
