Pros & cons summary

Performance score	7.40	59.27
Recency	18 August 2015	12 April 2021
Maximum RAM amount	2 GB/4 GB	24 GB
Chip lithography	28 nm	8 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	40 Watt	230 Watt

M1000M has 475% lower power consumption.

RTX A5000, on the other hand, has a 700.9% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 5 years, a 1100% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 250% more advanced lithography process.

The RTX A5000 is our recommended choice as it beats the Quadro M1000M in performance tests.

Be aware that Quadro M1000M is a mobile workstation card while RTX A5000 is a workstation one.
