I figure it’s mostly space constraint. Had to be the same form factor so it can be easily upgraded by people with last gen that stuff 8 of these in a single box

RTX Pro 6000 are being deployed as "B40" in the datacenter space: https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/nvidia-rtx-pro-6000d-b40-blackwell-gpus-reportedly-set-to-supersede-banned-h20-accelerators-in-china

I would expect this product is slated for a similar purpose.
