NVIDIA unveils RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition with 10,496 cores in single-slot design

NVIDIA launches single-slot RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPU

TL;DR: NVIDIA's RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition is a single-slot, energy-efficient GPU with 10,496 CUDA cores and 32GB of GDDR7 memory, delivering 800 GB/s of bandwidth at 165W of power. It excels in AI inference and video processing, delivering significant performance gains for enterprise workloads compared to CPU-only systems. At NVIDIA GTC 2026, the company has expanded its server lineup with the new efficient single-slot RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPU. NVIDIA describes it as an "energy-efficient multi-workload accelerator designed to deliver breakthrough performance across a broad range of enterprise workloads," which, of course, includes AI inference as well as other high-end computing tasks, such as video processing. With 10,496 CUDA Cores, which is slightly lower than the number featured in the gaming-class GeForce RTX 5080 GPU featuring the same GB203 chip, it's also packed with 32GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit interface to deliver memory bandwidth of 800 GB/s. Power consumption-wise, it lives up to its efficient label with the single-slot passively cooled GPU drawing up to 165W. Naturally, the single-slot form factor is designed for servers and data center racks with multi-GPU setups, where a dozen GPUs could be installed in a single system. The RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPU is similar, spec-wise, to the dual-slot actively cooled RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell, albeit with a lower power rating and slightly reduced memory bandwidth. Performance-wise, NVIDIA touts its capabilities and efficiency compared to CPU-only systems, with the RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPU delivering up to 50X higher performance for vector databases leveraging NVIDIA's cuVS technology for AI. And with fifth-generation Tensor Cores and NVIDIA's advanced video processing, vision-based applications will see an even greater performance increase than on CPU-only systems. Here's a look at the full specs, including various FP4, FP8, and other AI performance metrics.

NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition Packs Over 10K Cores & 32 GB GDDR7 Memory In A Single-Slot

NVIDIA has introduced a new server edition GPU in its portfolio, the RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition, with 32 GB of memory. NVIDIA Offers Over 10K Cores & 32 GB GDDR7 Memory With Its RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPU, All In A Single-Slot Form Factor The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition is the latest entry in the server graphics card family. The graphics card is based on the same Blackwell core architecture, & is designed to be a super-power-efficient variant for enterprise workloads. Additional highlights include: * SLM AI Inference gets up to a 10x performance boost for the NVIDIA Nemotron Nano 9B model vs. the NVIDIA L4 GPU. * Apache Spark accelerated by NVIDIA cuDF provides up to 5x faster query performance and 10x better total cost of ownership on 10 terabytes of data vs. CPUs. * Vision AI with the NVIDIA Metropolis platform provides up to 4x performance for video summarization with the NVIDIA Cosmos Reason 2 model vs. the NVIDIA L4 GPU. Coming to the specifications, the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition features the GB203 GPU with 10,496 CUDA cores, 82 RT cores, and a 165W TDP. The card offers 1.6 PFLOPs of FP4, 811 TFLOPs of FP8, 406 TFLOPs of FP16/BF16, 203 TFLOPs of TF32, 51 TFLOPs of FP32, & 154 TFLOPs of Peak Raytracing performance. In terms of memory, the RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition features 32 GB of GDDR7 memory across a 256-bit wide bus interface. The card offers 800 GB/s of bandwidth. This indicates that the GDDR7 DRAM has been clocked at 25 Gbps speeds. The card also features MIG of up to 2 GPUs, each with 16 GB DRAM portions. There are also 3x NVENC and NVDEC units onboard the graphics card. The design is definitely the most interesting aspect, as the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell Server Edition is designed around a single-slot form factor "FHFL". It features a passive-cooled design and is powered by a single 16-pin connector. The workstation variant of this graphics card features a dual-slot and active-cooled design. The RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell is now available to order from leading system builders and cloud providers. No information is provided on the price.
