Nvidia’s latest Blackwell GPUs are a pair of itty-bitty workstation cards that aim to deliver the highest performance possible for professional visualization and local AI workloads within a 70-watt energy diet.

Unveiled at the Siggraph conference in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Monday, the RTX Pro 4000 small form factor (SFF) and RTX Pro 2000 share the same half-high dual-slot cooler design. But despite their similarities, the two cards are very different beasts, with the RTX 4000 SFF packing more than twice the CUDA cores at 8,960 versus the RTX Pro 2000's 4,352.

Nvidia says the RTX 4000 Ada SFF is about 1.7x faster in ray tracing and offers 2.5x higher AI performance compared to its previous model. With 280 tensor cores, Nvidia says the chip is capable of delivering 770 teraFLOPS of
