Summary of article:
There is strong demand for the Huida PRO 5500 Workstation GPU among Chinese companies. Yuzu Networks and Tianyang Technology have placed orders one after another, and major technology companies have also purchased large quantities. However, supplies are limited and arrival times are far away.
AlthoughHuida ceoJen-Hsun Huang Despite the scandal, Chinese companies still have strong demand for Huida GPUs. In the past month, two A-share listed companies have successively disclosed large HUDA GPU purchase orders, including gaming company Yuzu Networks and Tianyang Technology, which provides IT services to the financial industry. He is expected to buy PRO 5500 GPU. However, since market demand far exceeds planned production capacity, the number of PRO 5500 graphics cards available to Chinese customers will be very limited.
It is worth noting that these GPUs are not Huida’s high-end computing cards for AI data centers, but low-performance workstation graphics cards, but they can be used for model inference and running AI agents. This type of graphics card is not currently affected by US export controls.
Huida officially launched the Blackwell Architecture PRO 5500 professional workstation graphics card in September. This GPU is equipped with 84GB GDDR7 memory and a memory bandwidth of 1398GB/s. It can be used for workloads such as AI agent operation, AI application inference, physical AI and simulation, scientific computing, and graphics rendering. It is specifically designed for enterprise-level rack-mounted workstation deployments. IT teams can centrally deploy GPUs in a unified management rack for sharing by multiple users, and flexibly expand computing power capacity as demand increases.
Southern Metropolis Daily reported that Yu Yang, founder of AI infra (AI infrastructure) company Luchen Technology, said that the price increase of data center AI chips based on Huida’s Blackwell and Hopper architecture is greatly exaggerated and the supply is limited. PRO 5500 has large graphics memory capacity and can meet the inference needs of small lightweight large language models or video/world models.
Yuzu Network announced on the 3rd that its wholly-owned subsidiary Shanghai Yuzu Information has spent RMB 4.225 billion (about US$600 million) to purchase PRO 5500 GPU. The purchase is huge, nearly three times Youzu Networks’ annual revenue in 2025. Tianyang Technology also disclosed on October 13 that it would purchase 20,000 Huida PRO 5500 GPUs, but the company did not disclose the transaction amount.
The report quoted graphics card sales data and said that the current price of the PRO 5500 GPU is around RMB 90,000 including tax. Based on this rough calculation, the number of GPUs involved in the above transaction of Yuzu Network is about 47,000, while the transaction amount of Tianyang Technology’s purchase of 20,000 cards is about 1.8 billion yuan. The industry says the PRO 5500 is expected to debut in January 2027, and the spot price at that time could exceed the current market price.
In order to expand computing power, Chinese technology giants have also joined the purchase of PRO 5500. It is reported that major technology companies such as ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent have ordered more than 3 million PRO 5500 graphics cards.
Summary FAQ
-
The report focuses on HUDA’s Blackwell-based PRO 5500 professional workstation graphics card. This is not a high-end computing card in the data center, but an enterprise-level workstation GPU that can be used for model inference, AI agents, and simulation.
-
In the past month, Yuzu Networks and Tianyang Technology have successively disclosed purchase plans. Youzu’s subsidiary spent 4.225 billion yuan to buy it, and Tianyang Technology announced the purchase of 20,000 PRO 5500s, but did not announce the specific amount.
-
This is because the price of AI chips in Huida data center is high and the supply is limited. The PRO 5500 has 84GB of video memory, which can meet the needs of lightweight model logic and is currently not affected by US export controls. Therefore, it has attracted a large number of companies to reserve seats in advance.
