ByteDance, Alibaba, Tencent Place Over $35 Billion Orders for Nvidia RTX PRO 5500 Chips
ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent have collectively ordered over 3 million Nvidia RTX PRO 5500 graphics cards, valued at more than $35 billion, amid US trade restrictions on advanced chips to China. Nvidia has indicated it may not fulfill all orders due to production limits, with global output of this chip capped at 3 million units in 2027. The RTX PRO 5500 is a powerful workstation chip still export-compliant, unlike Nvidia's more advanced AI processors restricted under US export controls.
