Pros & cons summary

Performance score	35.28	34.70
Recency	21 January 2020	19 March 2019
Maximum RAM amount	6 GB	16 GB
Chip lithography	7 nm	14 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	150 Watt	250 Watt

RX 5600 XT has a 1.7% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 10 months, a 100% more advanced lithography process, and 66.7% lower power consumption.

Pro Vega 64X, on the other hand, has a 166.7% higher maximum VRAM amount.

Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between Radeon RX 5600 XT and Radeon Pro Vega 64X.

Be aware that Radeon RX 5600 XT is a desktop card while Radeon Pro Vega 64X is a mobile workstation one.
