Pros & cons summary

Performance score	36.19	39.51
Recency	27 May 2019	12 April 2021
Maximum RAM amount	16 GB	8 GB
Chip lithography	12 nm	8 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	110 Watt	115 Watt

RTX 5000 Mobile has a 100% higher maximum VRAM amount, and 4.5% lower power consumption.

RTX A4000 Mobile, on the other hand, has a 9.2% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 1 year, and a 50% more advanced lithography process.

Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between Quadro RTX 5000 Mobile and RTX A4000 Mobile.
