Performance Analysis
The Quadro RTX 5000 11.2 TFLOPS FP32 figure exceeds the Quadro P5000 8.9 TFLOPS FP32 figure by a ratio of 1.26 to 1 while the RTX 5000 also supplies 89.2 TFLOPS dense FP16 that the P5000 does not publish. This dense FP16 capability on the RTX 5000 enables larger batch sizes during training and inference workloads compared with FP32 only operation on the P5000. The 448 GB/s memory bandwidth of the RTX 5000 versus the 288 GB/s bandwidth of the P5000 further supports higher throughput for data movement in both dense FP16 and dense INT8 operations listed at 178.4 TOPS on the RTX 5000.

When to Choose the Quadro P5000
The Quadro P5000 suits deployments where the 180W TDP must remain below the 230W TDP of the RTX 5000. Its PCIe interconnect alone meets requirements in systems without NVLink cabling and its 8.9 TFLOPS FP32 rating handles established FP32 workloads without the added power draw of the later architecture.
When to Choose the Quadro RTX 5000
The Quadro RTX 5000 fits workloads that utilize its 89.2 TFLOPS dense FP16 rating or its 178.4 TOPS dense INT8 rating. Its 448 GB/s bandwidth and NVLink interconnect support larger data transfers and multi GPU scaling beyond the 288 GB/s and PCIe 3.0 limits of the P5000.
