A tie in 1440p
Pro 5700 XT is 3% faster in 4K

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	30.19	32.69
Recency	29 January 2019	4 August 2020
Maximum RAM amount	8 GB	16 GB
Chip lithography	12 nm	7 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	80 Watt	130 Watt

RTX 2070 Max-Q has 62.5% lower power consumption.

Pro 5700 XT, on the other hand, has a 8.3% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 1 year, a 100% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 71.4% more advanced lithography process.

Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q and Radeon Pro 5700 XT.

Be aware that GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q is a notebook card while Radeon Pro 5700 XT is a workstation one.
