It appears that the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 “Blackwell” GPU has 72 GB of GDDR7 memory.
On NVIDIA’s product page, the RTX PRO 5000 “Blackwell” GPU with 72 GB of GDDR7 ECC memory was formally unveiled. NVIDIA first introduced an RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell GPU with 48 GB of GDDR7 memory distributed among 24 2 GB modules that were positioned on either side of the PCB. Nevertheless, NVIDIA has now made the decision to upgrade the GPU with the new 3 GB memory modules, increasing the total capacity to 72 GB on a 512-bit bus with 1,344 GB/s memory bandwidth. This makes the card a much more alluring offer for professionals in a variety of fields, including professional video editing, data science, AI, and high-performance computing. However, the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU, which places 16 of these modules on each side of the PCB to attain an astounding 96 GB capacity, is more stunning than this 24 module architecture with 12 GDDR7 modules on each side.
Recall that the RTX PRO 5000 GPU has 14,080 CUDA cores, 440 TMUs, and 176 ROPs and is based on the GB202 GPU. High-quality encode/decode for live production and quick video editing is accelerated by upgraded NVENC/NVDEC blocks. IT and cloud/VDI administrators may easily divide a GPU into separate instances with Multi-Instance GPU (MIG), ensuring faster performance for more users. All of this has been bundled by NVIDIA into a dual-slot GPU with a blower fan and 300 W TDP. Although the price is yet unknown, the 72 GB model might be a few dollars less expensive than its older sibling, the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, which retails for just under $10,000. Furthermore, NVIDIA may be preparing for a “SUPER” makeover of the Blackwell gaming portfolio as we observe the business integrating 3 GB GDDR7 memory modules into additional models.
