This is the same CUDA core count as the consumer GeForce RTX 5090 SKU, but it is now certified for professional workloads and has a much higher memory capacity. The 84 GB of GDDR7 is connected to the GB202 with a 416-bit memory bus that delivers about 1,398 GB/s of memory bandwidth. This would put each GDDR7 memory chip at about 26 Gbps per pin, which is a standard GDDR7 memory speed, but not the fastest available on the market. Additionally, to achieve the massive 84 GB capacity, there need to be 28 memory modules. NVIDIA placed 14 GDDR7 modules on the front side with the GPU die and 14 GDDR7 modules on the back of the PCB, effectively sandwiching the PCB. Compared to the rest of the RTX PRO lineup, the new RTX PRO 5500 "Blackwell" sits just a tick below the fla
