Core Viewpoint - The prevailing concern regarding the depreciation of GPUs in the AI industry is largely unfounded, as the actual depreciation cycle is more favorable than many investors believe [1][2]. GPU Depreciation and Lifespan - Analysts suggest that the profit cycle for GPUs is approximately 6 years, and the depreciation accounting practices of major cloud computing firms are deemed reasonable [2]. - The cost of operating GPUs in AI data centers is significantly lower compared to the GPU rental market, allowing for a high marginal contribution rate when extending the lifespan of older GPUs [3]. - GPUs can have a practical lifespan of 7 to 8 years, with many companies still using GPUs that are over 5 years old and generating substantial profits [5]. Lifecycle Transition of GPUs - GPUs transition from high-performance tasks, such as training advanced AI models, to lower-demand inference workloads, allowing older GPUs to remain in active service [6]. - The variety of AI workloads enables older GPUs to be repurposed effectively, maintaining their profitability [6]. Cost Considerations - AI cloud computing companies often choose GPUs based on user expectations and budget, with older GPUs being utilized for lower-tier services while newer models are reserved for premium offerings [7]. - Many AI services can run on open-source models that require less computational power, further enhancing the utility of older GPUs [8]. Economic Advantages of Older GPUs - Despite higher energy consumption, older GPUs are often preferred due to their lower procurement costs, making them more cost-effective overall [10].

荷兰政府暂停了对芯片制造商Nexperia的控制权，将控制权归还给其中国母公司，从而缓和了此 前的僵局，这场僵局此前已开始阻碍全球汽车生产。 荷兰经济事务大臣文森特·卡雷曼斯周三在社交媒体网站X上发帖称，此前赋予荷兰阻止或修改 Nexperia决策权的命令已被撤销，此举"旨在展现善意"。 彭博社本月早些时候曾报道，如果能确认该公司位于中国的工厂已交付芯片，荷兰准备采取制裁措 施。 此举标志着这场争端显著缓和，这场争端凸显了供应链的全球化特性，也凸显了中国日益增长的影 响力。尽管Nexperia的芯片并非尖端技术，且该公司在中国仅运营一家工厂，但这场争端仍然影 响了从本田汽车到大众汽车等众多汽车制造商。 卡雷曼斯于9月下旬援引一项冷战时期的法律，试图控制荷兰公司Nexperia的决策，从而引发了这 场争端。Nexperia隶属于中国闻泰科技股份有限公司。中国随即采取对应措施，对这家荷兰公司 位于广东的工厂生产的零部件实施出口限制，该工厂使用欧洲生产的晶圆组装芯片。 荷兰政府态度的转变源于此前中荷官员参与的谈判取得突破性进展，德国、欧盟和美国也参与了此 次谈判。为了打破僵局，中国同意放宽对Nexperia中国工厂 ...
