AMD Radeon Pro WX 4130 vs NVIDIA Quadro M1200
AMD Radeon Pro WX 4130
► remove from comparison
The AMD Radeon Pro WX 4130 is a professional workstation graphics card for laptops. It was announced early 2017 and is intended for Kaby-Lake based professional notebooks. The AMD Radeon Pro (formerly known as FirePro) is the counterpart to the Quadro series from Nvidia and offers certified drivers for professional 3D applications (CAD and DCC).
The WX4130 is based on the Polaris 11 or 12 chip and offers 640 shaders like the older AMD Radeon Pro 450 (entry level MacBook Pro 15 2016). However, the WX 4130 is clocked higher at 1053 versus 800 MHz. Therefore, the performance should be more similar to the Radeon Pro 455 (768 Shaders at 855 MHz). Due to the higher clock speed we suspect the newer Polaris 12 chip, that is manufactured in an improved 14nm (LPP+) process and allows the chip to be clocked higher.

NVIDIA Quadro M1200
► remove from comparison
The 28 nm Nvidia Quadro M1200 is a mid-range DirectX 12 (FL 11_0) and OpenGL 4.5-compatible graphics card for mobile workstations. It is a (first generation) Maxwell-based GPU built on the GM107 chip with 640 shader cores. Therefore, the GPU is similar to the consumer Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M. The Quadro M1200M is built for the Intel Skylake generation and is the successor to the Quadro M1000M (950M based).
The Quadro series offers certified drivers that are optimized for stability and performance in professional applications like CAD or DCC. OpenGL performance, for example, should be significantly better compared to GeForce graphics cards of similar specifications.
Performance
The performance of the Quadro M1200 is on a level to the previous generation M2000M which is also based on the 960M. In games it is comparable to the GTX 960M although the driver support is not optimized for gaming.
Using CUDA (Compute Capability 5.0) or OpenCL 1.2, the cores of the Quadro M2000M can be used for general calculations.
Power Consumption
The power consumption of the Quadro M1200 is rated for the same TGP of 45 Watt (32.5 Watt TDP) and therefore a bit lower than the M2000M with 55 Watt TGP.
