A new NVIDIA RTX 6000D has surfaced in the Geekbench database — a workstation-class Blackwell GPU created exclusively for the Chinese market. The D suffix once again marks a regional SKU, echoing the approach taken with the gaming-focused RTX 4090D and RTX 5090D.
According to the listing, the RTX 6000D is equipped with 156 compute units (SMs), totaling 19,968 CUDA cores. By comparison, the standard RTX PRO 6000 uses the full set of 188 SMs and 24,064 CUDA cores. In other words, this is a significantly cut-down GB202.
The memory subsystem is pared back as well. The regular RTX PRO 6000 offers 96 GB of GDDR7 on a 512-bit bus with 1,792 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 6000D drops to 84 GB and a 448-bit interface; at the same 28 Gbps, that yields roughly 1,568 GB/s. The configuration implies 28 GDDR7 modules at 3 Gb instead of 32.
It’s also notable that the leaked card is labeled simply as NVIDIA RTX 6000D, without the PRO badge — unusual for the Blackwell workstation line, where PRO is part of the official branding.
All told, the RTX 6000D comes across as a deliberately streamlined GB202 workstation card tailored to export controls and local requirements in China — a focused SKU shaped to meet the letter of those rules.
