GeForce GTX 1060 5GB vs RTX A1000 Laptop benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB GPU is faster than the RTX A1000 Laptop in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 1060 5GB has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the RTX A1000 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 60 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB at 120 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB is better than the RTX A1000 Laptop.
