This is how RTX 2070 Super Max-Q and A10G compete in popular games:

A10G is 33% faster in 1080p
A10G is 36% faster in 1440p
A10G is 28% faster in 4K

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	35.52	48.61
Recency	2 April 2020	12 April 2021
Maximum RAM amount	8 GB	12 GB
Chip lithography	12 nm	8 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	80 Watt	150 Watt

RTX 2070 Super Max-Q has 87.5% lower power consumption.

A10G, on the other hand, has a 36.9% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 1 year, a 50% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 50% more advanced lithography process.

The A10G is our recommended choice as it beats the GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q in performance tests.

Be aware that GeForce RTX 2070 Super Max-Q is a notebook card while A10G is a workstation one.
