NVIDIA has just announced a new workstation-focused graphics card — the RTX 6000 Ada. The 48GB powerhouse is the latest model to join the company’s family of high-end, enterprise-grade GPUs designed for demanding content creation. NVIDIA sees the RTX 6000 being used for metaverse projects, thanks to the card’s Ada Lovelace generation AI, massively improved ray tracing and other cutting-edge features.

It’s important to point out that NVIDIA doesn’t view this GPU as something the general public will buy — the predicted $8,000 price will undoubtedly prevent that from happening — but instead is positioning the card as a tool for TV broadcasters, scientists and other professional applications.

“The new workstation GPUs are truly game-changing, providing us with over 300% performance increases — allowing us to improve the quality of video and the value of our products,” says Andrew Cross, CEO of Grass Valley (TV broadcast equipment).

So what do the specs look like in NVIDIA’s new RTX 6000 Ada? For starters, there are over 18,000 CUDA cores, 48GB of GDDR6 memory and a power rating of 450 watts. 568 Tensor cores and 142 RT cores help to triple the video encoding performance, and Nvidia virtual GPU (vGPU) software enables multiple remote users to share resources and workloads.

“The NVIDIA RTX 6000 is ready to power this new era for engineers, designers and scientists to meet the need for demanding content-creation, rendering, AI and simulation workloads required to build worlds in the metaverse,” says Bob Pette, NVIDIA vice president of professional visualization.

The NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada will be available from December 2022 through global distribution channels and manufacturing partners.

HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, chaired the first meeting of the Supreme Space Council in Dubai on December 16, 2024. The session highlighted the UAE’s ambitious space plans and took stock of the sector’s economic progress.

The council emphasized the growing role of private companies in advancing space technologies, noting that their contributions are now equal to that of the public sector. Members also praised initiatives like the Space Economic Zones Programme, which are designed to fuel innovation and investment in the space industry.

Discussing the UAE’s space journey, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum remarked, “The national space sector continues to grow and advance, and we take immense pride in the remarkable achievements we have accomplished over the years”.

Sheikh Hamdan also received updates on two upcoming satellite projects: Thuraya-2 and MBZ-SAT. Thuraya-2, developed by Space42, is slated for launch this December. Meanwhile, the MBZ-SAT, created by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), will soon follow. MBRSC, a major driver of the UAE National Space Programme, continues to lead the nation’s space-related developments.

Space42 took the opportunity to showcase its advancements, including ongoing collaborations between public and private entities. The company also outlined strategies to promote innovation, boost revenue streams, and create new opportunities for growth in the sector.

The UAE’s current projects build on a growing legacy of space exploration. Back in 2020, the nation made headlines with its Mars mission, successfully sending a probe into the planet’s orbit in 2021. This mission, which is now in its second phase as of June 2024, has been collecting critical data to develop a comprehensive diurnal image of Mars.

The UAE also ventured into lunar exploration with an unmanned mission aimed at studying untouched regions of the Moon’s surface. While the probe ultimately crashed during its landing attempt after communication was lost seconds before touchdown, the effort represented a significant step in the country’s exploration ambitions.
