Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 specifications: 96GB VRAM, 600W power consumption per unit.
Nvidia is announcing its RTX Pro Blackwell series of GPUs, designed to meet the needs of professional designers, developers, data scientists, and creatives. The lineup includes a top-of-the-line RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPU for workstations as well as other RTX Pro Blackwell desktop and laptop variants and a data center version of the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell. The RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell for workstations will ship with 96GB of GDDR7 memory and requires 600 watts of power, slightly more than the 575 watts of the RTX 5090. The GPU has double flow-through cooling, 24,064 CUDA cores, a 512-bit memory bus, and 1792 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It also includes PCIe Gen 5 support, DisplayPort 2.1, and the latest Blackwell generation of RT cores and Tensor cores.
The GPU is designed for workstation use, aimed primarily at professionals working on game development, AI workloads, or other professional tasks that need a lot of VRAM and a fast GPU. The RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell will also be available in a Max-Q variant and a server edition for data centers. Nvidia is using its new RTX Pro branding to replace the RTX numbering scheme and Quadro branding it has used previously. Nvidia is also launching the RTX Pro 5000 and RTX Pro 4000 Blackwell in desktop and laptop form factors, alongside the RTX Pro 4500 Blackwell for desktops.
Laptop versions of the RTX Pro Blackwell include the 3000, 2000, 1000, and 500 models, which come with up to 24GB of VRAM and support Nvidia's latest Blackwell Max-Q technologies that the company claims will "intelligently and continually optimize laptop performance and power efficiency with AI." These laptop GPUs will challenge AMD's Strix Halo chips that have 128GB of unified memory shared among the CPU, GPU, and AI engines. Framework has built a tiny desktop with AMD's latest chips, making it an interesting comparison point for workstations and laptops that will ship with Nvidia's RTX Pro Blackwell GPUs.
Nvidia has not yet announced pricing for the RTX Pro 6000 workstation variant, but this GPU will be available from distribution partners like PNY and TD Synnex in April, with availability from manufacturers like Dell, HP, and Lenovo starting in May. The server variant will be available from Cisco, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Supermicro "soon," while cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and CoreWeave will have RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell servers later this year. The rest of the RTX Pro Blackwell lineup for workstations will be available in the summer from Boxx, Dell, HP, and Lenovo, and the RTX Pro Blackwell laptop variants will ship in Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Razer devices later this year.
