NVIDIA RTX PRO 5500 Blackwell Workstation Edition NEW

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5500 Blackwell Workstation Edition is a professional Blackwell desktop card with 84 GB of GDDR7 and ECC, 1,398 GB/s of memory bandwidth and a 600 W board power, announced in September 2026 and not yet shipping. It slots into the gap between the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell, which tops out at 72 GB and 300 W, and the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition at 96 GB and 600 W, a gap that had been wide enough to leave buyers choosing between half the memory or the full price. Its 21,760 CUDA cores are exactly the count in the GeForce RTX 5090, on the same full-size GB202 die, but with 84 GB of ECC memory in place of the 5090's 32 GB, professional driver certification and Multi-Instance GPU. That last part matters for the way NVIDIA is positioning the card: it is built for rack-mounted deployment rather than a desk, so an IT team can put the cards in a managed rack, split each one into two isolated 42 GB instances and hand workstation-class graphics and AI to people who never see the hardware. What NVIDIA has not published is any throughput figure. There is no single-precision number and no AI TOPS number on either NVIDIA's page or PNY's, so Flopper shows the datatypes the card supports and leaves the rates blank until a datasheet exists.
