AMD Radeon Pro WX 2100 vs NVIDIA Quadro P5000 Max-Q vs AMD Radeon Pro WX 4150
AMD Radeon Pro WX 2100

The AMD Radeon Pro WX 2100 Mobile is a professional workstation graphics card for laptops. It is based on the consumer Radeon RX 540X and therefore uses the same Polaris 12 chip (unverified). The exact clock speeds of the mobile version are not published, the desktop version however, seems to feature similar clock speeds as the RX 540X.
The AMD Radeon Pro (formerly known as FirePro) is the counterpart to the Quadro series from Nvidia and offers certified drivers for professional 3D applications (CAD and DCC).

NVIDIA Quadro P5000 Max-Q

The Nvidia Quadro P5000 Max-Q (official Nvidia Quadro P5000 with Max-Q Design) is a mobile high-end workstation graphics card for notebooks. It is the power efficient variant of the normal Quadro P5000 for laptops and offers slightly reduced clock speeds (1101 - 1366 MHz versus 1164 - 1506 MHz) and a greatly reduced power consumption (80 versus 100 Watt TGP). Similar to the consumer GeForce GTX 1070 Max-Q (Laptop), it is based on a slimmed-down GP104 chip with 2048 shaders. The graphics card is designed for the Kaby Lake generation.
The Quadro GPUs offer certified drivers, which are optimized for stability and performance in professional applications (CAD, DCC, medical, prospection, and visualizing applications). The performance in these areas is therefore much better compared to corresponding consumer GPUs.
Performance
The theoretical performance should be slightly below the normal Quadro P4000 due to the reduced clock speeds.
Power Consumption
With an TGP of 80 Watt, the P5000 Max-Q is only slightly higher rated (5 Watt) as the much slower Quadro P3000 (75 Watt) and therefore similar sized laptops can use the P5000 Max-Q.
AMD Radeon Pro WX 4150

The AMD Radeon Pro WX 4150 is a professional workstation graphics card for laptops. It was announced early 2017 and is intended for Kaby-Lake based professional notebooks. The AMD Radeon Pro (formerly known as FirePro) is the counterpart to the Quadro series from Nvidia and offers certified drivers for professional 3D applications (CAD and DCC).
The WX4150 is based on the Polaris 11 or 21 chip and offers 896 shaders like the older AMD Radeon RX 460. Due to the higher clock speed compared to the Radeon Pro 400 GPUs in the MacBook Pro (800 - 900 MHz), we suspect the use of the newer Polaris 21 chip, that is manufactured in an improved 14nm (LPP+) process and allows the chip to be clocked higher.
