NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 “Blackwell” GPU is officially unveiled and equipped with 72GB GDDR7 ECC memory. It is reported that when NVIDIA initially launched the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell, its memory capacity was 48GB, using 24 GDDR7 chips of 2GB each, distributed on both sides of the PCB. After this update, NVIDIA has increased the single memory capacity to 3GB and the entire card capacity to 72GB, making it more attractive in fields such as data science, artificial intelligence, high-performance computing (HPC), and professional video editing.
However, the PRO 5000's 24-chip design (12 on each side) is slightly inferior to the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, which achieves a capacity of up to 96GB through 16 memory on each side.
In terms of parameters, the RTX PRO 5000 is based on the GB202 core and has 14,080 CUDA cores, 440 texture units (TMU) and 176 raster units (ROP). The newly upgraded NVENC/NVDEC hardware module can accelerate high-quality video encoding and decoding, suitable for live production and fast video editing. The Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) feature divides a single GPU into multiple independent instances, making it easier for IT and cloud/virtual desktop administrators to allocate independent, accelerated computing power to more users. This graphics card has a power consumption of 300W (TDP), a dual-slot design and a turbo fan.
The price has not yet been announced, but given that the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell sells for close to $10,000, it is expected that this 72GB version will cost $1,000 to $2,000 less. In addition, as more NVIDIA products use 3GB GDDR7 memory chips, the company may prepare a "SUPER" version update for the Blackwell game card series.
