Wccftech • • technology
Key Points:
- NVIDIA has introduced the RTX PRO 5500 Blackwell Workstation Edition, featuring 21,760 CUDA cores and an unprecedented 84 GB of ultra-fast GDDR7 memory, targeting professional and workstation users.
- Built on the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture with a 600W TDP, the card supports both air- and liquid-cooled thermal solutions, PCIe Gen5 x16 interface, and up to four DisplayPort 2.1b outputs, designed for rack-mounted workstation deployment.
- The RTX PRO 5500 uses the GB202 GPU silicon, the same as the flagship RTX PRO 6000 and GeForce RTX 5090, and offers a memory bandwidth of up to 1398 GB/s, slightly higher than the RTX PRO 5000 but lower than the RTX 5090 and RTX PRO 6000.
- Unique features include support for Multi-instance GPU (MIG) functionality, splitting the card into two instances with 42 GB memory each, and a likely mixed-density VRAM die configuration to achieve the 84 GB capacity.
- Pricing has not been announced, but the card is expected to be expensive, potentially higher than the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell 48 GB model, which is priced around $9,200 USD.
