Nvidia launches RTX Pro 5500 with 84GB VRAM, targeting AI workloads

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Nvidia has introduced a new workstation graphics card, the RTX Pro 5500, which is based on the same GB202 silicon as the GeForce RTX 5090. This new card offers a significant increase in VRAM, featuring 84GB of GDDR7 memory, which is 2.6 times more than the standard RTX 5090. While it shares core specifications with the RTX 5090, its primary advantage lies in its expanded memory capacity, positioning it between the RTX Pro 5000 and RTX Pro 6000 models. Nvidia's strategic move appears to be filling a market gap and potentially capitalizing on recycled silicon for higher profit margins in the professional AI market. AI

IMPACT This release offers increased VRAM for AI tasks, potentially enabling larger models and more complex computations for professionals.

RANK_REASON New product release from a major AI hardware manufacturer with significant spec changes.
