This is perhaps the first time we are seeing the China-exclusive workstation GPU with its PCB exposed, revealing how the memory chips are laid out.
GINNSOD Shows 28x 3 GB GDDR7 Memory Modules Layout on NVIDIA RTX 6000D Blackwell Server GPU
The China-exclusive NVIDIA RTX 6000D was recently seen in a teardown video by GINNSOD, which appears to be showcasing the Server edition for the GPU. The RTX 6000D is the RTX PRO 6000 variant for the Chinese workstation and server market, and is nerfed to bring fewer shaders and memory capacity. As we can see in the video, the RTX 6000D has an identical passive cooler to the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition.
When the cooler is removed, we can see the PCB exposed, showing some noticeable changes to the PCB when compared to the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU. While the RTX PRO 6000 has all its memory slots filled with memory chips, the RTX 6000D has four of them empty. This unusual configuration involves 28x 3 GB GDDR7 memory modules vs a 32x 3 GB GDDR7 configuration on the PRO variant. This gives us 84 GB GDDR7 memory capacity in total, which is why we also have a narrower memory interface of 448-bit on the card.
The RTX 6000D in this case gets its stock cooler removed as GINNSOD attaches a custom waterblock connected to a radiator for better cooling. The Server edition is meant to be silent, but to achieve better cooling, some companies are reportedly swapping the coolers. As far as other specs go, the RTX 6000D has 19,968 shaders vs 24,064 on the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, and there are some downgrades in other areas as well.
In terms of power limits, the RTX 6000D 84GB is rated at 600W, matching the RTX PRO 6000D. However, in the GINNSOD workstation system, the GPU was seen drawing only up to 419W. The RTX PRO 6000 Server Edition also offers configurable TDP settings, while the Max-Q Workstation Edition is the only variant capped at a lower 300W power limit.
