Connectivity and outputs

This section shows the types and number of video connectors on each GPU. The data applies specifically to desktop reference models (for example, NVIDIA’s Founders Edition). OEM partners often modify both the number and types of ports. On notebook GPUs, video‐output options are determined by the laptop’s design rather than the graphics chip itself.

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	0.24	28.37
Recency	18 June 2008	4 August 2020
Chip lithography	65 nm	7 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	20 Watt	130 Watt

ION has 550% lower power consumption.

Pro 5700 XT, on the other hand, has a 11720.8% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 12 years, and a 828.6% more advanced lithography process.

The Radeon Pro 5700 XT is our recommended choice as it beats the ION in performance tests.

Be aware that ION is a notebook graphics card while Radeon Pro 5700 XT is a workstation one.
