NVIDIA RTX 5000, RTX 4500, RTX 4000 get ADA update

NVIDIA’s highly anticipated update to its workstation series has finally arrived, introducing three new models to the lineup. Leading the pack is the RTX 5000, which boasts the ADA AD102 GPU housing 12,800 CUDA cores. Positioned just below the flagship RTX 6000 with its 48 GB memory, the RTX 5000 comes with 32GB of memory and is expected to retail at around $4000.

Expanding the RTX 4000 ADA series, two additional models have been introduced: the RTX A4500 and the RTX 4000. The latter may sound familiar, as NVIDIA had previously released this GPU in a Small Form Factor (SFF) design. However, the new version features a single-slot design but departs from the low-profile design of its predecessor. While power requirements have risen from 70W to 130W, the boost clock has increased significantly, offering up to 2.2 GHz compared to the previous 1.56 GHz on the SFF variant.

The RTX 4500 ADA features the AD104 GPU equipped with 7680 CUDA cores and combined with 24GB of memory. Notably, this model incorporates a 192-bit memory bus to meet the 24GB memory capacity requirement. Simultaneously, the power consumption is reported to be around 210W.

It’s worth noting that all of these cards will support a full PCIe Gen4 x16 interface and will feature a quad DisplayPort 1.4a configuration. The only distinction is that the RTX 4000 employs a mini-DisplayPort, while the other models utilize the standard full-sized connector. The pricing for these cards reflects their targeted market segments. Following the introduction of the $1250 RTX 4000 SFF and the $6800 RTX 6000, the RTX 4500 and RTX 5000 will be priced at $2250 and $4000, respectively. The RTX 4000 non-SFF model will maintain the same pricing as its compact counterpart.

The first systems equipped with the new RTX ADA models are expected to ship this fall. Professionals can anticipate these systems from manufacturers such as Boxx, Dell, Lambda, Lenovo, and HP. According to NVIDIA, there should even be systems with up to four RTX 6000 ADA GPUs featuring up to 192GB of VRAM for advanced workloads.
