NVIDIA RTX Workstations With Ada GPUs Unveiled In RTX 6000, RTX 5000, RTX 4500, RTX 4000 Options

NVIDIA is upgrading its workstation portfolio with new Ada GPU offerings with up to RTX 6000 cards & three new Ada Workstation graphics cards.

NVIDIA Expands Workstation Lineup With Powerful Systems Equipped With Up To RTX 6000, Three New Ada GPUs

Starting today, NVIDIA will be offering the brand new RTX Ada generation of Workstation solutions from its partners including BOXX, Dell Technologies, HP, and Lenovo. These systems are equipped with up RTX 6000 GPUs which is the flagship offering that was released last year but in addition to that, the company will also be introducing three new GPUs featuring the same Ada architecture at more affordable price points.

These include the NVIDIA RTX 5000, RTX 4500, and RTX 4000. All three GPUs will comply with NVIDIA's AI Enterprise 4.0 suite, backed by a powerful array of software and developer tools. Following is what to expect from the new lineup:

• NVIDIA CUDA cores: Up to 2x the single-precision floating-point throughput compared to the previous generation.
• Third-generation RT Cores: Up to 2x the throughput of the previous generation with the ability to concurrently run ray tracing with either shading or denoising capabilities.
• Fourth-generation Tensor Cores: Up to 2x faster AI training performance than the previous generation with expanded support for the FP8 data format.
• DLSS 3: New levels of realism and interactivity for real-time graphics with the power of AI.
• Larger GPU memory: The RTX 4000 provides 20GB of GDDR6 memory; the RTX 4500 offers 24GB of GDDR6 memory; and the RTX 5000 boasts 32GB of GDDR6 memory — all supporting error-code correction for error-free computing with large 3D models, rendered images, simulations, and AI datasets.
• Extended-reality capabilities: Support for high-resolution augmented-reality and virtual-reality devices to deliver the high-performance graphics required for creating stunning AR, VR, and mixed-reality content.

In terms of performance, the RTX 5000 Ada delivers a 3x increase in performance over the RTX A5500, the RTX 4500 delivers a 2.7x increase over the RTX A4500 & the RTX 4000 delivers a 1.7 times increase over the RTX A4000.

Besides the NVIDIA RTX Ada GPUs, other specifications of the new RTX Workstations include Intel Xeon W-3400 & Xeon W-2400 CPUs codenamed Sapphire Rapids along with ConnectX SmartNICs which will offer 25 Gb/s network connectivity with increased throughput and low latency (with minimal CPU utilization).

As for availability, the NVIDIA RTX 5000 GPU is now available from partners such as Leadtek, PNY, & Ryoyo Electro while the other two GPUs, the RTX 4500 and RTX 4000 will be available this fall along with NVIDIA's RTX Workstations equipped with up to four RTX 6000 GPUs.
