Pros & cons summary
| Recency | 16 April 2024 | 12 April 2021 |
| Chip lithography | 8 nm | 12 nm |
| Power consumption (TDP) | 50 Watt | 40 Watt |
RTX A400 has an age advantage of 3 years, and a 50% more advanced lithography process.
T600 Max-Q, on the other hand, has 25% lower power consumption.
We couldn't decide between RTX A400 and T600 Max-Q. We've got no test results to judge.
Be aware that RTX A400 is a workstation card while T600 Max-Q is a mobile workstation one.
