中美在生成式AI和物理AI领域进行开发竞争 特朗普15日针对英伟达在台湾制造的H200等半导体加征25%关税，但有条件地允许对华出口。出口对 象被认为的是在中国大陆开展业务的西方国家企业。据称目前中国大陆尚未允许进口H200…… 特朗普1月14日签署了关于加征关税的行政命令。这是基于《贸易扩展法》第232条的行业关税。美国国 内使用的进口商品不征收关税。设想适用关税的是英伟达为了向中国大陆出口在台湾制造的H200而暂 时将其运到美国等情况。 特朗普2025年12月表示，作为允许H200等对华出口的交换，将征收25%的"上缴金"。此次的加征关税实 际上相当于上缴金。 在加征关税之前，美国商务部1月13日提出了将AI半导体对华出口放宽为许可制的新规。 H200和美国AMD的"MI325X"向中国供货时，必须在美国国内接受第三方机构的检测，因此可能会被征 收额外关税。 美国要求英伟达等对中国的出口量不得超过对美国出货量的50%。为了优先美国国内的需求，还要求把 美国国内剩余的部分用于对华出口。 在此基础上，美国商务部工业和安全局（BIS）将逐案审查可否出口。出口对象被认为的是在中国开展 业务的西方国家的企业。原则上 ...

克雷西 发自 凹非寺 量子位 | 公众号 QbitAI 第二是性能核心，也就是专为RTX 50系列打造的 动态多帧生成 。 CES 2026，老黄演讲没提游戏卡，但英伟达还是给游戏玩家送上了新的大礼包—— 刚刚，英伟达在中国媒体见面会上，介绍了CES上全新发布的DLSS 4.5。 这是一套从画质底层逻辑到帧率生成机制的完整升级方案，通过 "双核心" 策略，同时解决了玩家最关心的两个痛点——画质与帧率的爆发 力。 第一是画质核心，也就是 基于第二代Transformer模型的超分辨率技术 。 它专门负责"修内功"，利用大幅提升的计算能力重塑画面细节，解决前一代Transformer当中的鬼影和闪烁。 它负责"练外功"，最高支持6倍插帧，还能给显卡装上"自动变速箱"，根据实际情况自动调节插帧倍率。 它的核心任务非常明确——解决上一代技术在线性空间处理上的不足。 之前的第一代Transformer，还有更早的CNN，都是通过在对数空间运作来抑制闪烁。 两项技术相结合，可以带来高达35%的性能提升，以实现4K 240Hz路径追踪游戏体验。 下面，一起来看看这两大核心具体是如何进化的。 超分辨率用上新一代Transfo ...

智通财经APP注意到，周四，伦敦金属交易所(LME)铜期货价格从历史高点回落，跌幅一度达 2%，跌 至 13,033 美元/吨。此前，基本金属和贵金属在 2026 年初的几周内均大幅飙升。 据英伟达官网去年刊登的一份技术论文指出，一个容量在一吉瓦的传统数据中心机架，需要高达50万吨 铜母线，这引起外界对未来铜的供需形势大为担忧。 不过，近期有细心的观察者发现，该论文的结论存在明显的计算错误，实际上一吉瓦数据中心仅需要 200多吨铜，差不多相当于50万磅，可能是该论文用错了单位。 而英伟达目前已经修正了这一错误，将论文中的50万吨修改为200,000千克，即200吨。这意味着此前外 界一些关于数据中心将导致铜陷入严重短缺的预期过于激进。 分析师还指出，中国 2025 年第四季度的铜需求增长低于预期，且受电动汽车销量疲软影响，存在进一 步下行风险；同时，高企的价格可能会促使电动汽车电池制造领域在生产中将铜替换为铝。 高盛表示，特朗普政府决定暂缓对关键矿产进口征收关税，转而关注直接谈判和价格下限，这也可能导 致美国铜溢价下降，尽管约 1.3 万美元的高价可能会在整个第一季度维持，因为"围绕美国精炼铜关税 的不确定性 ...
