Pros & cons summary

Performance score	14.01	15.19
Recency	18 January 2014	8 August 2022
Maximum RAM amount	6 GB	4 GB
Chip lithography	28 nm	6 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	274 Watt	50 Watt

FirePro D700 has a 50% higher maximum VRAM amount.

Arc Pro A30M, on the other hand, has a 8.4% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 8 years, a 366.7% more advanced lithography process, and 448% lower power consumption.

Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between FirePro D700 and Arc Pro A30M.

Be aware that FirePro D700 is a workstation card while Arc Pro A30M is a mobile workstation one.
