Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell to feature 96GB GDDR7 RAM and 600w TDP?

Industry sources say Nvidia is working on its next-generation workstation GPU based on the Blackwell architecture, which is expected to be extremely powerful. Online listings and leaked documents have revealed some early information about the upcoming graphics card, which is the successor to the RTX 6000 Ada series that debuted more than two years ago.

Shipping records from NBD indicate that Nvidia is “internally transferring inventory” of two unannounced workstation GPUs for testing and finalization purposes. More details appear on LeadTek’s website, which reveals the specifications of one of these cards.

Specifically, the leak suggests that Nvidia is adopting a new naming convention for its professional workstation line, including the Pro label. The flagship model appears to retain the RTX 6000 name but with the addition of the X suffix. The two models currently mentioned are the RTX Pro 6000 X Blackwell and RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell.

Initial rumored specs for the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell include 24,064 CUDA cores, 188 Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs), 188 RT cores, and 752 Tensor cores. Both the X and non-X variants are reported to feature 96GB of GDDR7 memory, suggesting a 512-bit memory interface.

The leaked data also suggests that the RTX Pro 6000 X Blackwell could have a TDP (thermal design power) of up to 600 watts – more than double the 300W TDP of the RTX 6000 Ada. This suggests that the new Blackwell GPUs could be aimed at high-performance professional applications such as visualization, AI training, and computationally-aided design.

If the rumors are accurate, the new GPUs could have a similar MSRP to the current RTX 6000 Ada series, which ranges from $6,000 to $8,000. Nvidia has not officially announced or confirmed the new Blackwell workstation cards, but an official launch can be expected at Nvidia’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC), which runs from March 17 to 21.
