[Brief] NVIDIA Intros RTX PRO 5500 Blackwell Graphics Card, Features Same Core Count as 5090
NVIDIA officially launched on September 13 the RTX PRO 5500 Blackwell professional graphics card targeting professional workstations, edge computing and mid-scale inference scenarios. The card features the same core count as the consumer flagship RTX 5090 but comes with 96GB of ECC memory, approximately 40% improvement in double-precision floating-point performance, and a stricter power-management scheme, mainly targeting computer-aided design, building information modeling, complex scientific computing and mid-scale AI inference workloads. This is the first time NVIDIA has adopted the same core count across its professional and consumer product lines, and is seen by the industry as a strategic signal of NVIDIA further squeezing its discrete-graphics competitors in the professional graphics market.
