Performance Analysis
The 12.6 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating on the P6000 exceeds the 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating on the P5000 by a ratio of 1.42. This difference scales compute throughput for dense floating point operations in training and inference tasks. Memory bandwidth at 432 GB/s on the P6000 exceeds the 288 GB/s figure on the P5000 by a ratio of 1.5. Higher bandwidth supports larger batch sizes during data movement between memory and compute units. No FP16 figures appear in published specifications for either card so direct dense FP16 comparisons remain unavailable.

When to Choose the Quadro P5000
The Quadro P5000 suits environments where power limits constrain deployment. Its 180W TDP allows operation in systems unable to sustain the 250W requirement of the P6000. The 16 GB GDDR5X capacity meets workloads that fit within this memory size while maintaining 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32 performance.
When to Choose the Quadro P6000
The Quadro P6000 fits workloads that require 24 GB GDDR5X memory capacity. Its 432 GB/s bandwidth and 12.6 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating accelerate tasks that exceed the limits of the P5000 specifications. Systems with adequate power delivery benefit from these increases in memory and throughput.
Use Cases
The P6000 provides 24 GB GDDR5X memory and 12.6 TFLOPS dense FP32 compared to 16 GB and 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32 on the P5000.
The P6000 supplies 432 GB/s bandwidth and 24 GB memory which exceed the 288 GB/s and 16 GB on the P5000.
Both cards share Pascal architecture and PCIe 3.0 interconnect while the P6000 offers higher memory and the P5000 offers lower TDP.
The P6000 delivers 24 GB GDDR5X and 12.6 TFLOPS dense FP32 which surpass the 16 GB and 8.9 TFLOPS dense FP32 on the P5000.
The P6000 reaches 432 GB/s memory bandwidth and 250W TDP capacity while the P5000 remains at 288 GB/s and 180W.
