Beijing is signaling it could allow marquee tech players, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to pick up Nvidia's latest professional GPU, according to The Information, which cited people familiar with the discussions. China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology asked select firms to submit purchase plans for the chip released this month, including quantities and application details. Some of those companies were told the ministry intends to approve their orders.
The RTX Pro 5500 is characterized as a high-end graphics processor. Any green light would land amid a thicket of restrictions on Nvidia's China business that stem from U.S. export rules and China's own limits grounded in security concerns and AI competition. The U.S. administration recently removed restrictions on certain Nvidia products, but those tend to be earlier-generation chips that have only reached China in small volumes.
