NVIDIA Announces RTX PRO 5500 Blackwell Workstation Edition With 84GB GDDR7
NVIDIA is selling the same core count as its top gaming card with more than double the memory, aimed at enterprise rack workstations that consolidate GPUs for AI models rather than at desktops.
Reporting from 1 source: GIGAZINE.
NVIDIA announced the RTX PRO 5500 Blackwell Workstation Edition, a professional GPU with 21,760 CUDA cores, the same count as the GeForce RTX 5090. Its GDDR7 memory is 84GB with ECC support, 52GB more than the RTX 5090's 32GB. Memory bandwidth is 1398GB/s, and the maximum power consumption is 600W.
NVIDIA's product page lists the card as planned for release soon, with no price or ship date given. The memory runs 84GB of GDDR7 with error-correcting code support, which NVIDIA says lets a machine hold larger AI models, longer contexts, and several models at once.
Capacity does not mean bandwidth. The card moves data at 1398GB/s, which VideoCardz's coverage places about 22% below the RTX 5090, and its 600W ceiling sits above the 5090's 575W. It also carries Multi-Instance GPU, splitting the 84GB into two 42GB environments with dedicated memory, cache, and compute cores so several users can share one card.
