NVIDIA has announced the launch of its first Blackwell-powered data centre GPU, the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition, designed to enhance AI and graphics performance for enterprises across multiple industries.
Unveiled at NVIDIA GTC, a global AI conference running until 21 March in San Jose, California, this GPU is part of the RTX PRO Blackwell series. The lineup includes desktop, laptop, and data centre GPUs optimised for AI-driven and creative workloads.
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition delivers significant performance improvements over its predecessor, the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace L40S GPU. It offers up to five times faster large language model inference for AI applications, nearly seven times acceleration in genomics sequencing, 3.3 times speedup for text-to-video generation, almost twice the inference speed for recommender systems, and over twice the rendering speed improvements.
Industries including architecture, automotive, financial services, game development, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail are set to benefit from its enhanced processing capabilities.
AI and graphics capabilities tailored for enterprise use
Designed to operate in 24/7 data centre environments, the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition features 96GB of GDDR7 memory and supports Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) technology. This allows a single GPU to be split into four fully isolated instances, each with 24GB of memory, enabling simultaneous AI and graphics workloads.
Security is a key feature, with NVIDIA Confidential Computing ensuring sensitive AI models and data are protected from unauthorised access. The GPU also supports enterprise-scale deployments, including distributed AI inference workloads and virtual workstations powered by NVIDIA vGPU software.
With fifth-generation Tensor Cores, fourth-generation RT Cores, DLSS 4, a fully integrated media pipeline, and a second-generation Transformer Engine supporting FP4 precision, the GPU delivers high-performance AI inferencing and real-time photorealistic ray tracing.
Enterprises can also scale AI-driven workflows with NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA AI Enterprise, facilitating applications such as LLM inference, computer vision, recommender systems, and robotics simulation.
Industry leaders adopt NVIDIA’s latest technology
Several companies are already leveraging the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition to accelerate AI and graphics-intensive tasks.
Black Forest Labs, known for its FLUX image generation AI, is integrating the GPU into its text-to-image models. Robin Rombach, CEO of Black Forest Labs, said, โWith the powerful multimodal inference capabilities of the RTX PRO 6000 Server Edition, our customers will be able to significantly reduce latency for image generation workflows.โ
OTOY, a leader in cloud graphics, is optimising its OctaneRender real-time rendering software for the GPU. Jules Urbach, CEO of OTOY, stated, โWith 96GB of VRAM, the new server-edition GPUs can run complex neural rendering models within OctaneRenderโs GPU path-tracer, enabling artists to tap into incredible new features.โ
KLA, a semiconductor equipment manufacturer, plans to use the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition to enhance inference workloads in wafer manufacturing. Kris Bhaskar, Vice President of AI Initiatives at KLA, said, โThe increased memory capacity, FP4 precision, and new computational capabilities of NVIDIA Blackwell are going to be particularly helpful to KLA and its customers.โ
Oxford Nanopore Technologies is collaborating with NVIDIA to enhance genomics sequencing. Chris Seymour, Vice President of Advanced Platform Development at Oxford Nanopore Technologies, said, โThe NVIDIA Blackwell architecture will help us drive real-time sequencing analysis.โ
Availability through cloud providers and system partners
The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition will be available from May through a global network of cloud providers and system partners.
Major cloud service providers including AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and IBM Cloud will offer RTX PRO 6000-powered instances, alongside GPU cloud providers such as CoreWeave, Crusoe, Lambda, Nebius, and Vultr.
Leading hardware manufacturers, including Cisco, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lenovo, and Supermicro, will integrate the GPU into their enterprise solutions. Additional system partners like ASUS, MSI, GIGABYTE, Foxconn, Pegatron, and Wistron will also support the deployment of this new technology.
With its cutting-edge AI and graphics capabilities, the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition is set to transform enterprise workloads, offering unprecedented speed and security for industries embracing AI-driven solutions.
