NVIDIA Quadro T1200 Mobile

The NVIDIA Quadro T1200 Mobile is a professional mobile GPU from the Quadro Turing-M generation. The architecture is Turing, implemented on the TU117 chip. TSMC fabricates the die on a 12 nm process; the chip contains 4,700 million transistors on a 200 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 23.5M/mm². The GPU operates at a base clock of 1515 MHz and a boost clock of 1785 MHz. It is configured with 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. For memory, it uses 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit interface, with a memory clock of 1500 MHz and a 12 Gbps effective data rate, for 192.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The slot width is IGP, the TDP is 18 W, no power connectors are required, and the interface is PCIe 3.0 x16. In the distribution of all GPUs tracked in this database, the Quadro T1200 Mobile sits at the 50th percentile. The product is end-of-life, with a release date of 2021-04-11; the predecessor is Quadro Pascal-M and the successor is Ampere-MW.

Memory Subsystem

The memory subsystem consists of 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus. The memory clock is 1500 MHz, which yields a 12 Gbps effective rate, and the resulting peak bandwidth is 192.0 GB/s. The pixel fill rate is 57.12 GPixel/s, and the texture fill rate is 114.2 GTexel/s. These figures define the data path available to the GPU cores. For high-resolution rendering, the first constraint is capacity: a 4 GB frame buffer holds color, depth, and staging buffers, and complex scenes at elevated resolutions can exhaust that space quickly. Once the buffer overflows, performance degrades as data is swapped. The second constraint is bandwidth: 192.0 GB/s is what the memory system can deliver to the shading units. With a 128-bit data path, this is a moderate bandwidth figure, not a high-end configuration. The fill rates determine the output side of the pipeline: 57.12 GPixel/s is the rate at which pixels can be written, and 114.2 GTexel/s is the rate at which textures can be sampled. Higher resolutions increase the number of pixels per frame, so the pixel rate is a direct scaling limit. The design point is a balanced memory subsystem for moderate workloads rather than an extreme high-resolution solution.

Who Should Consider It

This GPU suits systems that need a professional mobile part at the median of the performance distribution. The percentile rank is 50, the exact middle of the all-GPU distribution: half of tracked GPUs are faster, half are slower. With an 18 W TDP, an IGP slot width, and no power connectors, it is built for portable machines with strict power and thermal budgets. The 4 GB GDDR6 frame buffer and 192.0 GB/s bandwidth point to workloads with modest memory requirements. The API support, DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, covers current rendering interfaces. Display outputs are portable-device dependent, meaning the available connectors are determined by the laptop implementation rather than the GPU itself. Because the production status is end-of-life and the release date is 2021-04-11, a user considering this part today is likely maintaining an existing system rather than integrating a new one. The successor is Ampere-MW, so new designs would look toward that generation.

How It Compares

The database records no nearest-rival entries for this SKU, so the comparison is drawn from two sources: the overall distribution and the product lineage. In the all-GPU distribution, the Quadro T1200 Mobile is at the 50th percentile. That is the exact median. The practical reading is that this GPU sits in the middle of the database: it trails the upper half of all tracked GPUs and leads the lower half.

The predecessor is the Quadro Pascal-M generation. Moving to the T1200 Mobile shifts the product family from Pascal-era parts to the Turing architecture. The generation field, Quadro Turing-M (Tx000), places this part in the Turing-based professional mobile lineup. The TU117 chip and the 12 nm TSMC process are the physical characteristics that define this generation step.

The successor is Ampere-MW, the architecture that follows Turing. No numeric deltaPct values are available for this product against its predecessor or successor, nor against any nearest rival. The production status is end-of-life, and the release date of 2021-04-11 marks its entry into the market. The product lineage therefore reads as Quadro Pascal-M before it and Ampere-MW after it.

Benchmark Performance

Benchmark entries for this SKU are not recorded in the database, and the average benchmark score is recorded as 0. The nearest-rival list contains no entries, so no rival scores and no deltaPct values are available for percentage comparisons. The only distribution metric is the percentile: 50. A 50th-percentile result places the GPU at the midpoint of all tracked GPUs. This is a median position, not a trailing or leading one.

The compute-side numbers support that placement. FP32 throughput is 3.656 TFLOPS, and FP16 throughput is 7.311 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio. The 1024 shading units run at a base clock of 1515 MHz and a boost clock of 1785 MHz, producing pixel-rate and texture-rate figures of 57.12 GPixel/s and 114.2 GTexel/s respectively. The 4 GB GDDR6 frame buffer, the 128-bit bus, and the 192.0 GB/s bandwidth define how quickly data can reach those units. The data sheet does not list RT cores or tensor cores, so ray-tracing acceleration and tensor-based features are not part of this SKU's profile.

Taken together, the specification data and the percentile position describe a part that is average within the database's all-GPU population. Without rival scores, no exact percentage deltas can be reported; the median percentile is the quantitative anchor. The product's end-of-life status underscores that this performance profile belongs to the Quadro Turing-M generation, with the successor Ampere-MW representing the next step.
