ASIC来势汹汹,英伟达慌了吗?
半导体芯闻· 2025-12-24 10:21
如果您希望可以时常见面,欢迎标星收藏哦~ 随着各家大厂持续进行资本支出、AI竞争白热化,市场目前盛传两种主流观点,一是TPU和ASIC 作为GPU替代方案崛起,使英伟达(NVIDIA)护城河遭到侵蚀;另一个是Google逆袭,透过AI 模型Gemini取得市占和主导AI搜寻,最终将击败OpenAI。 根据外媒siliconANGLE的看法,上述两种说法都严重夸涨,且不一定如市场所想。理由之一是辉 达将持续精进其GB300和后续Vera Rubin架构,可维持领先出货并不断降低成本,成为迄今最具 成本效益的平台。 至于Google则在壮大的同时面临一种「创新者困境」。报导称,由于Google搜寻业务与广告营收 高度绑定,一旦Google将广告模式转向类似聊天机器人的体验,单次搜寻查询的服务成本将暴增 至原来的100倍;再者,Google必须将商业模式转向更高度整合的购物体验,必须连结使用者与广 告主,但即便Gemini近期取得一定成功,Google仍不具备这样的信任基础。相比之下,OpenAI核 心在于强调可信资讯,而非推送广告,仍有其优势。 为何TPU难以打破英伟达AI护城河? 目前领先AI训练走向为「高频宽 ...
