Pros & cons summary

Performance score	14.01	15.02
Recency	18 January 2014	12 August 2014
Maximum RAM amount	6 GB	8 GB
Power consumption (TDP)	274 Watt	400 Watt

FirePro D700 has 46% lower power consumption.

FirePro W7100, on the other hand, has a 7.2% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 6 months, and a 33.3% higher maximum VRAM amount.

Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between FirePro D700 and FirePro W7100.
