We put the PNY Prevail Pro through a series of workstation benchmarks. For comparison, we pitted it against a Workstation Specialists WS-X143S desktop workstation with a NVIDIA Quadro P4000 graphics card fitted, MSI's WS63 7RK, which has mobile NVIDIA Quadro P3000 graphics, MSI's WT73VR 7RM, which has mobile NVIDIA Quadro P5000 graphics, and Armari's Magnetar S16T-RD1000G2 with a variety of graphics cards from when we compared the AMD Radeon Pro WX 8200 to its competitors.

The WS-X143S was the closest desktop system we had tests results for to compare. It's a small form factor workstation, but using desktop components rather than mobile ones, so with the same performance as larger systems. Its graphics and CPU are the closest equivalents to the mobile versions in the PNY notebook.
