Alibaba, Tencent and ByteDance have reportedly ordered over 3M Nvidia RTX Pro 5500 cards, part of about 6M units worth roughly $70B, according to a post by Rohan Paul on X. The post says Nvidia can supply only about 1% of that backlog within four months.

Nvidia reportedly told partners it can build at most 3M of the cards worldwide in 2027, as TSMC capacity shifts to its Rubin data center chips. The RTX Pro 5500 has 84GB of GDDR7 memory, which buyers mainly want to run 70B-parameter models in 8-bit form for inference, the post says.
