Pros & cons summary

Performance score	24.85	29.96
Recency	30 March 2022	21 March 2023
Maximum RAM amount	4 GB	24 GB
Chip lithography	8 nm	5 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	60 Watt	72 Watt

RTX A1000 Mobile has 20% lower power consumption.

L4, on the other hand, has a 20.6% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 11 months, a 500% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 60% more advanced lithography process.

The L4 is our recommended choice as it beats the RTX A1000 Mobile in performance tests.

Be aware that RTX A1000 Mobile is a mobile workstation card while L4 is a workstation one.
