Nvidia has unveiled its RTX Pro Blackwell series of GPUs, targeting professional workstations, servers, and laptops. The flagship model, the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell, features 96GB of GDDR7 memory and requires 600 watts of power, slightly exceeding the 575 watts of the previous RTX 5090. This GPU supports PCIe Gen 5, DisplayPort 2.1, and incorporates the latest Blackwell generation of RT and Tensor cores, making it suitable for demanding tasks such as game development and AI workloads. Alongside the RTX Pro 6000, Nvidia is launching the RTX Pro 5000 and RTX Pro 4000 Blackwell models for desktops and laptops, with a Max-Q variant for enhanced efficiency. The laptop versions will offer up to 24GB of VRAM and utilize Nvidia's Blackwell Max-Q technologies for optimized performance. The RTX Pro 6000 workstation variant will be available from distribution partners in April, with broader availability from manufacturers like Dell, HP, and Lenovo in May. The server variant will also be released soon, with cloud providers like AWS and Google Cloud expected to offer it later this year.

Keep in mind the significant cost savings incurred by the fact it doubles as a home heating solution

No price indicated. If you have to ask, you're not the market.

What's the limitation that keeps memory limited to 96GB? Could one put 512GB of memory on a card? I'm curious about what is the limiting factor.

What a beast. Like past generations there is a variant with a blower-style cooler which is limited to 300W, but now they're also doing variants modelled after their gaming cards but with even higher TDPs. Triple the memory of the gaming flagship too, you used to only get double.

Will be fun to see if it has all the ROPs it should[1], or if NVIDIA has really gone all in on making this the worst product launch ever...

I just hope whatever organ I’m selling to afford this GPU is one of the paired ones.

As far as I can tell, it uses the same infamous power connector as 5090. I wonder if there are any differences there, maybe some additional balancing/safety features?

Is this real 600W or 750W when we are in burst mode? I am too accustomed to the TDP lies from CPUs.

> 600W

is this a sign that semiconductor scaling is completely dead now?

600W of power? Would you sell a car with "35l/100km of power"?
