Rasheed Sons AI Workstation: Threadripper PRO 9985WX, RTX PRO 6000 96GB
This is the top of our range. It has sixty-four Zen 5 cores, 256GB of ECC memory, and NVIDIA's flagship RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell with 96GB of ECC GDDR7 on a single card. It is assembled, cable-managed and tested in Johannesburg. This is data-centre-class AI on your own premises, with no cloud subscription, no per-token billing, and nothing leaving your building.
96GB on one card
The RTX PRO 6000 is the largest single GPU NVIDIA makes for professional use. It has 96GB of memory on a 512-bit bus, which gives it close to 1.8 TB/s of bandwidth. That's enough to keep the biggest models on one card, with no splitting and no compromises.
-
70B models run at near-full precision (8-bit) entirely on the card, so you get the quality and the speed.
-
100B+ models such as gpt-oss-120b fit with plenty of room left for long context windows.
-
Several models at once: you can serve a chat model, an embedding model and an image model side by side for a whole team.
-
Very large mixture-of-experts models can use the 256GB of system memory alongside the card's 96GB. That's over 350GB of combined memory for models that won't fit anywhere else.
Beyond text, it handles Stable Diffusion and Flux image generation at full resolution, video generation, Whisper transcription, and vector search over large document sets. It can also fine-tune serious models locally: LoRA and QLoRA on 70B-class models, without renting an H100 by the hour.
Sixty-four PRO cores
The Threadripper PRO 9985WX has 64 cores and 128 threads, with AMD's PRO feature set for business deployment. It handles dataset preparation, tokenising, vector indexing, CPU-offloaded layers and compilation without becoming the bottleneck. It's also a serious machine for rendering, simulation and virtual machines.
8TB of Gen 5 storage
It has two 4TB PCIe Gen 5 NVMe drives. You can keep your operating system and tools on one drive and your model library and datasets on the other, or run them together for maximum space. A 70B model at 8-bit is around 75GB, so a serious model collection fills space quickly. With Gen 5 speeds, models load in seconds.
Built for the long haul
The 2000W Platinum power supply has plenty of headroom, and the board's spare PCIe Gen 5 slots leave room to grow. ECC on both the system and video memory means that if a bit flips halfway through a multi-day training run, it gets corrected instead of silently corrupting the result.
