Nvidia can only deliver approximately 1% of China's $70 billion order for AI chips, with supply constraints limiting shipments of RTX Pro 5500 GPUs to Chinese tech giants.
Chinese technology giants ByteDance, Alibaba and Tencent, among others, are set to receive only a limited number of Nvidia chips that they've ordered. According to unnamed sources cited by Bloomberg, only "some tens of thousands, or roughly 1%" of RTX Pro 5500 workstation GPUs will be delivered over the next few months.
Supply Constraints
The fulfillment rate falls dramatically short of China's massive $70 billion order for AI chips. Despite being export-friendly models, the RTX Pro 5500 deliveries are being choked by supply constraints that Nvidia has been unable to overcome.
