ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent have collectively placed orders for more than 3 million units of NVIDIA's latest RTX PRO 5500 workstation GPUs, which are in strict compliance with U.S. export control regulations targeting China. At the listed price, the total value of these orders surpasses US$35 billion. It's worth noting that while the RTX PRO 5500 is not NVIDIA's cutting-edge AI chip designed for large-scale data centers, it stands out as one of the high-performance options currently accessible to Chinese buyers.
NVIDIA has acknowledged that the overwhelming demand from Chinese tech firms has far outstripped its initially planned production volume. Consequently, the company cannot ensure the fulfillment of all orders at this time. This situation underscores the robust demand within the Chinese market for NVIDIA computing power products that adhere to regulatory constraints on advanced AI chips.
