全球AI算力霸主英伟达正面临供应链现实的严峻考验。在下一代AI加速器量产时间表逼近之际，由于 主要存储芯片供应商在产能扩张和良率提升上遭遇双重阻力，英伟达可能被迫调整其采购策略，放宽对 第四代高带宽内存（HBM4）的技术规格要求，优先确保供应稳定性而非极致性能。 据ZDNet报道，尽管三星电子近期宣布HBM4即将量产出货，在进度上略微领先于竞争对手SK海力士和 美光，但整体市场供应动态仍取决于英伟达的最终采购决策。目前的迹象表明，即使是行业领先者，要 在满足英伟达设定的11.7Gbps最高规格的同时保证大规模供货，仍面临巨大挑战。 这一潜在策略调整反映了当前半导体供应链的紧张局势。如果英伟达坚持最高性能标准，其下一代代号 为Rubin的AI芯片量产可能因关键零部件短缺而受阻。市场目前普遍预期，英伟达将采取更为务实的做 法，即在采购最高规格HBM4的同时，并行采购略低规格的版本，以平衡性能需求与供应链安全。 这一转变对投资者而言至关重要，它不仅关系到英伟达新品的上市节奏，也将直接重塑存储芯片市场的 竞争格局。随着今年存储芯片短缺状况预计比去年更为严峻，能否在放宽后的规格下实现稳定交付，将 成为三星、SK 海力士 ...

"科技"的毁灭倾向好像一把被包得很好的火，总要烧到头上，才能明白它有多么厉害。 美国记者斯蒂芬·维特（Stephen Witt）的上一本畅销书《音乐是怎么变成免费午餐的》，很多年前给我留下了深刻印象。那本书里，维特着重采访了发明 MP3音频压缩格式的德国工程师卡尔海因茨·勃兰登堡（Karlheinz Brandenburg），记录了勃兰登堡和他的团队如何在2000年代通过一连串编码彻底摧毁了整 个音乐行业。 在写那本书的时候，维特就已经明白，勃兰登堡等科学家对技术有种"痴迷"倾向。他们更在意技术创新本身，而极少、甚至从不考虑社会意义上的后果，甚 至赚钱也不是他们的初衷。意想不到的结果却是，勃兰登堡的团队从中赚了大钱，与之相对照的是，如今没有几个音乐人还能靠卖专辑为生，唱片行业名存 实亡。"科技"的毁灭倾向好像一把被包得很好的火，总要烧到头上，才能明白它有多么厉害。 因此，看维特十年后出版的第二部重要著作《黄仁勋：英伟达之芯》的时候，我有种似曾相识感。事实上，这本书的英文原名也并不像中文版那么直接，而 是叫做《思考机器：黄仁勋、英伟达与世界上最隐秘的微芯片》（The Thinking Machine: Jens ...
