Nvidia continues to adapt to the increasing integration of AI technology in professional settings. The company has announced two new AI-enhanced graphics processing units (GPUs) — RTX 500 and RTX 1000 — specifically intended for workplace use. 

Built upon Nvidia’s Ada Lovelace architecture, these GPUs share technological foundations with the RTX 2000 through 5000 series, frequently found in gaming laptops.

Unlike their gaming-focused counterparts, the new GPUs target professional needs. They emphasize features such as high-quality video conferencing, AI-driven image upscaling, and other enhancements that streamline typical workflows.  

The GPUs are designed to boost the capabilities of thin and light professional laptops frequently used for content creation, video editing, research, and general productivity tasks.

Internally, the GPUs include significant upgrades like third-generation ray tracing cores, fourth-generation Tensor Cores, Ada generation CUDA cores, DLSS 3, and an AV1 encoder. 

With all this, the company promises an increase in performance and efficiency compared to Nvidia’s earlier professional GPU offerings.

The RTX 500 will launch with 4GB of memory, while the RTX 1000 features a slightly larger 6GB capacity. Here are the detailed specifications of the new GPUs:

Nvidia plans to partner with major laptop manufacturers including Dell, Lenovo, and HP to bring the new GPUs to their workstations. Nvidia says a laptop with the new RTX 500 and RTX 100 GPU will be available sometime this spring.
