NVIDIA's new RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell GPU is now out, featuring a hefty 72GB of GDDR7 memory. This model sits just below the flagship 96GB PRO 6000, offering a fifty percent increase over the standard 48GB version of the same card. It uses the same GB202 core with over fourteen thousand CUDA cores and a three hundred watt power rating, but adds eight extra memory modules to reach that higher capacity.
The company is targeting professional and agentic AI workloads with this release, stating that the expanded memory allows for running larger language models. They claim significant performance jumps over the last generation, citing gains in AI image creation and rendering software. The physical design remains a dual‑slot air‑cooled unit.
This move shows Nvidia can adjust memory configurations within a product stack, a flexibility that might hint at similar upgrades for future consumer cards. The 72GB model is currently available through distribution partners alongside the 48GB option, though official pricing details are not yet public.
