Nvidia introduced the RTX Pro 6000 (Blackwell) graphics card targeted at professionals and data centers a few months ago. Perhaps as a result, partners are beginning to sell off stockpiles of older RTX 5000 Ada GPUs, especially mobile versions. Zotac, via 孤城Hardware, seems to have leftover MXM RTX 5000 Ada silicon that it is now offloading in the Chinese market.
The MXM (Mobile PCI Express Module) form factor is predominantly utilized in laptops and mobile workstations. Consequently, the graphics cards are generally the mobile variants of their desktop counterparts, which results in diminished performance levels. The MXM RTX 5000 Ada version possesses 24% fewer CUDA cores and half the memory capacity of the desktop RTX 5000 Ada card.
