As the NVIDIA Blackwell product cycle enters its second year, the lineup continues to expand beyond the enterprise sector. While the more powerful “Blackwell Ultra” chips remain exclusive to enterprise applications, the standard Blackwell architecture is now making its way into the consumer, prosumer, and SME markets. This shift was marked by several new product announcements from Team Green during GTC 2025.
RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition
NVIDIA introduced the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition, designed specifically for data centers. It is the first GPU built to handle both enterprise AI workloads and visual computing. Compared to the previous-generation Ada Lovelace L40S GPU, the new server model delivers substantial performance gains — up to 5x higher throughput for LLMs in agentic AI tasks, nearly 7x faster genomics sequencing, 3.3x quicker text-to-video generation, and almost double the performance for recommender system inference. Rendering performance also sees a 2x boost.
These advancements are powered by the latest NVIDIA Streaming Multiprocessor architecture, 4th-Gen RT Cores optimized for RTX Mega Geometry, 5th-Gen Tensor Cores, and DLSS 4. The card also incorporates high-capacity GDDR7 VRAM, upgraded NVENC/NVDEC video engines, and PCIe 5.0 support.
Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) Support
The Multi-Instance GPU feature, previously reserved for server-class products, is now also available on desktop models and the RTX PRO 5000 series. It allows a single GPU to be securely partitioned — up to 4 instances on the 6000 series and 2 on the 5000 series — enabling efficient resource allocation and isolation for diverse workloads.
From Project DIGITS to DGX Spark and DGX Station
Project DIGITS, which aimed to bring Blackwell power to everyday users, has been rebranded and expanded into two new systems: DGX Spark and DGX Station.
DGX Spark is a desktop-class AI machine powered by the GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip. Designed for home use, it delivers up to 1,000 trillion operations per second (TOPS) of AI computing for tasks like fine-tuning and inference using cutting-edge AI reasoning models. NVLink-C2C interconnect technology provides a CPU+GPU coherent memory model for seamless performance.
DGX Station, on the other hand, is built for heavy-duty AI workloads. Equipped with the GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Desktop Superchip and 784GB of coherent memory, it is designed for large-scale model training and inference. Connectivity is handled by the ConnectX-8 SuperNIC, supporting up to 800Gbps transfer speeds and enabling easy scaling by interlinking multiple DGX Stations.
NVIDIA-Certified Storage Program
NVIDIA is also expanding its certification program to cover enterprise storage. The new NVIDIA-Certified Storage initiative ensures compatibility and performance across AI factories, providing validation for storage systems that meet stringent data requirements for AI and high-performance computing.
Several major players — including DDN, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Hitachi Vantara, IBM, NetApp, Nutanix, Pure Storage, VAST Data, and WEKA — are already part of this program. The certification aligns with deployment models such as NVIDIA DGX BasePOD, DGX SuperPOD, and NCP Reference Architectures, ensuring streamlined integration with certified servers and cloud providers globally.
Availability
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition will be available soon through major data center system partners like Cisco, Dell Technologies, HPE, Lenovo, and Supermicro. Cloud providers including AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and CoreWeave will also roll out instances featuring this GPU later this year. Additional server platforms from ASUS, GIGABYTE, Ingrasys, Quanta Cloud Technology, and other global partners will follow.
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition and Max-Q Workstation Edition will be available in April through distribution partners like PNY and TD SYNNEX, with manufacturers such as BOXX, Dell, HP Inc., Lambda, and Lenovo offering systems starting in May.
Meanwhile, the RTX PRO 5000, RTX PRO 4500, and RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell GPUs are expected this summer from partners like BOXX, Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Additionally, RTX PRO Blackwell laptop GPUs will launch later this year, with models available from Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Razer.
