Apple M3 Pro 14-Core GPU vs NVIDIA Quadro T1000 Max-Q

Apple M3 Pro 14-Core GPU

► remove from comparison Apple M3 Pro 14-Core GPU

The Apple M3 Pro 14-Core GPU is a self-designed graphics card in the Apple M3 Pro (with 11 CPU cores) and offers fourteen of the eighteen cores available on the chip. The graphics card uses a new architecture and now offers dynamic caching, mesh shading and ray tracing acceleration.

The GPU can access up to 24 GB LPDDR5-6400 unified memory via a 192-bit memory bus (max 150 GBit/s). Thanks to dynamic caching, the GPU only reserves as much memory as is required.

The entire chip is manufactured in the current 3nm process (probably N3B) at TSMC.

NVIDIA Quadro T1000 Max-Q

► remove from comparison NVIDIA Quadro T1000 Max-Q

The Nvidia Quadro T1000 with Max-Q Design is a professional mobile graphics card that is based on the Turing architecture (TU117 chip). Compared to the consumer GTX 1650, the Quadro T1000 features less CUDA cores / shaders (768 versus 896). The chip is manufactured in 12nm FinFET at TSMC. Compared to the normal Quadro T1000, the Max-Q variants are clocked lower and work in a more efficient state. Currently, we know of two variants with different clock speeds and power consumptions (35 and 40 W).

The Quadro T1000 is a mobile graphics card that is based on the Turing architecture (TU116 chip). Compared to the faster RTX 2000 GPUs (e.g. RTX 2060), the T1000 integrates no Raytracing or Tensor cores. Due to the same boost clock as the mobile T1000, the Max-Q variants can perform similar with sufficient cooling.

The Turing generation did not only introduce raytracing for the RTX cards, but also optimized the architecture of the cores and caches. According to Nvidia the CUDA cores offer now a concurrent execution of floating point and integer operations for increased performance in compute-heavy workloads of modern games. Furthermore, the caches were reworked (new unified memory architecture with twice the cache compared to Pascal). This leads to up to 50% more instructions per clock and a 40% more power efficient usage compared to Pascal.

Thanks to the low power consumption, the Max-Q T2000 GPU can be used in thin and light laptops. The used TU116 chip is manufactured in 12nm FFN at TSMC.
