Nvidia presents 12 new GPUs based on Blackwell architecture, including some with 96 GB of ECC GDDR7

Nvidia unveiled a dozen new GPUs during its GTC 2025 event, the company’s largest launch in two years.

Based on the Blackwell architecture, new arrivals use the RTX Pro nickname to differentiate themselves from previous generations (ADA Lovelace, Ampère and Turing) and, their consumers.

The flagship models are three RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPU variants with an ECC GDDR7 96 GB memory and up to 4000 AI top performance – twice the quantity of memory in its former performance champion, the RTX 6000 and an amazing 4x the RTX 5090, the best GPU on the consumer market to offer.

Nvidia Gpu launches

In addition to the Standard Workstation Edition, Nvidia also introduced the Blackwell Max-Q Workstation and the Edition server.

The latter is the successor of the GPU series of the L40 data center, providing a good consistency necessary for the GPU nomenclature.

As for the Max-Q Workstation edition, there is a bit of a mystery. Nvidia launched Max-Q technology in 2017 and this is generally associated with portable computers GPU trying to achieve maximum efficiency.

However, the PCs of the workstation rarely aim for optimal energy consumption, except perhaps in environments limited to power such as mini-shaped mini-PCs.

Three other office GPUs have also been introduced: the 5000, Pro 4500 and Pro 4000, which will be available from May 2025.

Given the launching cycles of past products, I expect more models focusing on the entry -level and traditional market parts are launched by the end of 2025.

Six new laptop GPUs have also been launched, all bearing the RTX Pro denomination agreement and, quite confused, some having the same name as their office counterparts.

The RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell is the new laptop flagship GPU with ECC GDDR7 24 GB memory; The other models include series 4000, 3000, 2000, 1000 and 500 and should directly replace their respective “generation ada” part.

All these parts will be available from OEM partners in mobile workstations from June 2025.

We will endeavor to update this article when other details on the cards (including prices) will be published.

The NVIDIA Keynote GTC also saw the official launch of DGX Spark, formerly known as Project Digits, DGX and Blackwell Ultra (or GB300), the most powerful GPU in Nvidia.
