Performance Analysis
FP32 performance at 8.9 TFLOPS dense on the Quadro P5000 versus 26.7 TFLOPS dense on the RTX 4000 Ada indicates the newer GPU processes floating point operations at three times the rate of the older model. This difference supports faster completion of training and inference tasks that rely on dense FP32 calculations. Memory bandwidth of 288 GB/s on the Quadro P5000 compared to 360 GB/s on the RTX 4000 Ada allows the RTX 4000 Ada to sustain larger batch sizes during data movement. TDP of 180W on the Quadro P5000 exceeds the 130W TDP of the RTX 4000 Ada which affects power draw in sustained operations. No FP16 figures appear in the published specifications for either GPU.
