【环球网财经综合报道】本周英伟达股价刷新历史新高，黄仁勋称推理需更多算力，然而AI服务器业内却暗流涌动。 近期，AI服务器业内变动频繁。6月20日晚，杰美特公告筹划现金购买思腾合力控制权，可能构成重大资产重组，交易完成后将拓展算力相关业务能力。5 月19日晚，慧博云通披露预案，拟收购宝德计算机67.91%股份并募集配套资金。 对于宝德、思腾合力拟被收购，业内看法不一。有算力从业者认为二者"一拍即合"，收购是"求生"之举；也有计算机领域上市公司人士觉得"拉升股价因素 多一点"。 专家介绍，AI芯片技术门槛提高，芯片原厂"捆绑销售"降低AI服务器厂商议价权与选择权，形势紧迫。当芯片厂商自行设计AI服务器，整机厂商或沦为类 似富士康的代工厂，全球AI服务器厂商数量将锐减，中国或仅剩5家左右。 某模型厂商人士称，A系列卡降幅最大，因新系列出现致其使用场景变窄、价值下行。5月就有从业者称高端算力奇缺，A、H系列将淘汰，市场需要 Blackwell架构。 尽管部分业内人士认为"红利期过了"，但受英伟达股价创历史新高影响，26日A股CPO、PCB等算力硬件股震荡走强，胜宏科技、新易盛双双创历史新高。 （陈十一） 25日，莲 ...
