Everything We Know (and Don't) About the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5500

NVIDIA’s upcoming RTX PRO 5500 is a Blackwell-based workstation GPU using the GB202 chip shared with the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX PRO 6000, distinguished by 84 GB of ECC GDDR7 memory, support for partitioning into two isolated GPU instances, and professional-oriented cooling and deployment options. Its substantially larger memory capacity than the RTX 5090’s 32 GB could allow larger AI models to run on one card, though its 1,398 GB/s memory bandwidth is lower than the roughly 1.8 TB/s available on the 5090 and PRO 6000. NVIDIA has not announced a release date or official price, although market comparisons and an early French retailer listing suggest it could be costly, potentially near $12,000 or more. Reports indicate strong Chinese interest because the card may fall outside some U.S. export restrictions, but claims of large prospective orders remain unverified. The simultaneous decline in RTX 5090 availability and rise in its resale prices has prompted speculation that NVIDIA may be allocating GB202 production toward more profitable professional hardware, though no direct connection has been confirmed.
