RTX Pro 5500

China is weighing regulatory approvals for Nvidia's RTX Pro 5500 chips, according to a report citing the consideration, a move that would boost the US chipmaker's access to the Chinese market. The potential approval comes amid ongoing US-China tensions over semiconductor exports, and any green light would mark a notable opening for Nvidia's data-center and workstation products in China.

Reports indicate China may approve purchases of Nvidia's new RTX Pro 5500 chips by Alibaba and ByteDance, a potential easing of restrictions on advanced US semiconductor sales to major Chinese tech firms. The move would give two of China's largest companies access to hardware relevant to AI and data centre work, and investors are watching Nvidia's exposure to the Chinese market closely.
