Pros & cons summary

Performance score	34.04	32.58
Recency	3 August 2021	12 January 2021
Maximum RAM amount	8 GB	6 GB
Chip lithography	7 nm	8 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	120 Watt	80 Watt

Pro W6600X has a 4.5% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 6 months, a 33.3% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 14.3% more advanced lithography process.

RTX 3060 Mobile, on the other hand, has 50% lower power consumption.

Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between Radeon Pro W6600X and GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile.

Be aware that Radeon Pro W6600X is a workstation card while GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile is a notebook one.
