Mini Footprint, Mighty AI: NVIDIA Blackwell Architecture Powers AI Acceleration in Compact Workstations

Packing the power of the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture in compact, energy-efficient form factors, the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF Edition and NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell GPUs are coming soon - delivering AI acceleration for professional workflows across industries.

Applications are becoming increasingly AI accelerated, and more users need AI performance, no matter the size or shape of their workstation.

The RTX PRO 4000 SFF and RTX PRO 2000 feature fourth-generation RT Cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with lower power in half the size of a traditional GPU.

The new GPUs are designed to bring next-generation performance to a range of professional workflows, providing incredible speedups for engineering, design, content creation, AI and 3D visualization.

Compared with the previous-generation architecture, the RTX PRO 4000 SFF features up to 2.5x higher AI performance, 1.7x higher ray-tracing performance and 1.5x more bandwidth, creating more efficiency with the same 70-watt max power consumption.

Optimized for mainstream design and AI workflows, the RTX PRO 2000 offers up to 1.6x faster 3D modeling, 1.4x faster computer-aided design (CAD) performance and 1.6x quicker rendering speeds compared with the previous generation.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell. CAD and product engineers as well as creatives will benefit from the RTX PRO 2000 GPU's 1.4x boost in image generation and 2.3x leap in text generation, enabling faster iteration, rapid prototyping and seamless collaboration.

Businesses Tap NVIDIA RTX PRO for Speedups Businesses across fields including engineering, construction, architecture, media and entertainment, and healthcare are using RTX PRO Blackwell GPUs to instantly accomplish tasks that previously took hours.

The Mile High Flood District protects people, property and the environment in the Denver, Colorado, metro area by managing flood risks with regional watershed planning, early warning systems, stream restoration and stormwater control, in collaboration with local governments.

Mile High Flood District runs complex flood simulations, massive 3D visualizations and real-time AI workflows - and with nearly double the CUDA cores, NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell is a big step up in performance compared with the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation GPU, said Jon Villines, innovation manager at Mile High Flood District. NVIDIA RTX PRO allows us to more easily handle increasingly larger geographic information systems, as well as hydraulic and hydrologic datasets.

The Government of Cantabria Geospatial Office is responsible for analyzing and visualizing high-resolution geographic information system data for government and public use.

We tested the NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell and were very impressed with its performance on geospatial workloads with Esri ArcGIS Pro, said Gabriel Ortiz Rico, chief of service of cartography and geographic information systems at the Government of Cantabria. Fine-tuning of AI models is 2x faster compared with using the RTX 2000 Ada due to the RTX 2000 Blackwell's additional Tensor Cores and GDDR7 memory.

Studio Tim Fu (STF) is a London-based design studio specializing in the integration of human creativity and AI with architecture and design.

The RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell powers our UrbanGPT application for real-time text-to-3D urban design, which can be used to generate dynamic city layouts, track vital metrics like program and floor areas, and produce realistic massing distribution across complex urban design scenarios, said Tim Fu, director of STF. From zoning simulations to large-scale massing studies, this technology accelerates our AI-driven design engine with the stability and responsiveness needed for city-scale planning.

New York-based Thornton Tomasetti is a global engineering and design consulting firm integrating engineering, science, technology and forensic analysis to advance performance, resilience and innovation in the built environment and beyond.

At Thornton Tomasetti, we're constantly advancing computational engineering, said Rob Otani, chief technology officer of Thornton Tomasetti. We benchmarked the RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell on CORE.Matrix - our in-house, GPU-based Finite Element Analysis solver - running almost 3x faster than with the RTX 2000 Ada and 27x faster than with a standard CPU. This enabled us to accelerate our structural analysis workflows for more iterative, design-integrated engineering.

Gl xkind is a technology company that creates AI-powered smart baby strollers designed to improve safety, convenience and accessibility for parents and their children.

Integrating the latest generation of advanced GPUs like the RTX PRO 2000 enables Gl xkind to push the boundaries of what's possible in AI-powered parenting solutions, said Kevin Huang, CEO of Gl xkind. The RTX PRO 2000's enhanced AI and graphics performance give us the real-time processing power needed to make our smart strollers safer, more responsive and more convenient for families everywhere.
