# Nvidia reportedly can fill only 1% of China's $70B GPU order

*2026-11-04 · Source: [Tom's Hardware](https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/nvidia-can-only-fulfill-1-percent-of-chinas-massive-usd70-billion-gpu-order-for-ai-chips-report-claims-supply-constraints-choke-export-friendly-rtx-pro-5500-deliveries-despite-huge-demand)*

A report says Nvidia can deliver just 1% of the roughly $70 billion in AI chip orders placed by major Chinese companies. Supply constraints are choking deliveries of the export-friendly RTX Pro 5500.

**Why it matters:** Even with export-compliant parts, supply rather than demand is the binding limit on Nvidia's China business. That fits Nvidia's recent push to steer cloud customers toward less Chinese exposure and Huawei's memory shortage, suggesting Chinese AI buildouts will stay compute-starved and lean on domestic alternatives.

**Topics:** chips, policy
