Over the weekend, folks on the Chiphell discussion board dropped some exciting—and totally NDA-breaking—photos that got everyone talking. A few days ago, one of these leaks made headlines, and it’s been buzzing ever since. About a month back, a pretty believable list of NVIDIA’s upcoming RTX PRO Blackwell graphics cards popped up online, though only a few physical samples have surfaced so far. Chiphell members noticed that Leadtek’s Chinese websites are now listing some of the new “Blackwell” professional models, sparking even more interest.
The earlier leak showed a PCB design tied to Leadtek and NVIDIA’s “blower-style” RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q Workstation Edition with 96 GB. Now, a bold Chiphell user has shared pictures of another internal part—a shorter PCB design. VideoCardz experts think this compact board will fit inside the Leadtek-made (non-Max-Q) RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation Edition case. Official NVIDIA promo images have already teased this darker version, different from the gaming-focused Founders Edition models. VideoCardz also notes that NVIDIA’s review embargo for the Professional Blackwell series is still on, so we don’t have an official launch date yet. This new leaked PCB seems to borrow some ideas—like a dual-sided GDDR7 memory setup—from NVIDIA’s familiar GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition.
What do you think about these leaked designs? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
