美国AI数据中心“叙事变化”:从“大交易”的兴奋感转向“不断延误”的“推锅大战”
Hua Er Jie Jian Wen· 2025-11-25 02:53
美国人工智能数据中心领域的市场情绪正经历剧烈逆转。随着前所未有的服务器集群建设遭遇现实阻 力,此前由吉瓦级(GW)大规模交易和创纪录合约通过带来的兴奋感正在消退,取而代之的是项目延 期频发以及随之而来的责任推诿。 针对延误指责,Core Scientific首席执行官Adam Sullivan并未直接回应具体项目,但对行业现状进行了 犀利反击。他指出,许多AI数据中心的工期表"并不现实",除非开发商已提前锁定发电机等长周期设备 及熟练承包商。Sullivan向媒体表示,当一家上市公司提前披露延误,而另一方等到最后一刻才公布, 这会制造混乱并侵蚀市场信心。此外,Core Scientific股东此前投票否决了CoreWeave提出的90亿美元收 购要约,这可能也是双方关系紧张的因素之一。 利润微薄下的高压博弈 虽然项目延误在建筑行业司空见惯,但在当前AI算力竞赛的背景下,赌注已截然不同。为了满足 OpenAI等客户的交付压力,Oracle的高管今年早些时候曾在得克萨斯州Abilene的施工现场对承包商大 声表达不满。 在这场争夺算力的竞赛中,最显著的动态是供应链紧张已开始实质性冲击企业业绩。AI云服务提供商 C ...

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the potential implications of the B30A chip, designed by NVIDIA as a downgraded version of its flagship B300 chip, particularly in the context of U.S. export controls to China and the ongoing AI computing race [5][16]. Group 1: AI Computing Race and Export Controls - The U.S. government faces a complex decision regarding the export of the B30A chip to China, which could significantly enhance China's AI computing capabilities despite being a lower-performance version of the B300 [5][6]. - The Trump administration's AI action plan aims to maintain U.S. leadership in AI by restricting access to advanced AI computing resources, with the U.S. currently leading China in AI supercomputing capabilities by approximately five times [7]. Group 2: Hardware Configuration and Performance - The B30A chip has peak performance and memory bandwidth that are 50% lower than the B300, with a single B30A card priced at approximately $22,500 compared to the B300's $45,000 [8][12]. - A server with eight B30A GPUs consumes only 40% of the power of a B300 server, making it more energy-efficient [8]. Group 3: Cluster Cost Analysis - To achieve the same total computing power as a B300 cluster, a B30A cluster requires double the number of chips, leading to a 24% higher initial investment cost, although this is mitigated by Chinese government subsidies [11]. - The overall amortized cost of a B30A cluster, including server, network, and energy costs over five years, is approximately 1.24 times that of a B300 cluster, indicating a 20% higher cost [13]. Group 4: Strategic Implications of B30A Export - If the B30A is allowed for export, it could significantly narrow the AI computing gap between the U.S. and China, potentially reducing the disparity from over 31 times to below 4 times [14]. - The introduction of B30A could pressure domestic Chinese chip manufacturers, as its performance exceeds that of local alternatives while being more cost-effective [14][15]. Group 5: Global Supply Chain Impact - Allowing the export of B30A could disrupt the global chip supply chain, as NVIDIA's production capacity is limited, potentially leading to longer wait times for other markets [15]. - The B30A's established supply chain and controllable procurement costs make it an attractive option for China, representing a "low investment, high return" scenario [15]. Group 6: Technical and Geopolitical Interplay - The decision to allow B30A exports is complicated by geopolitical considerations, as it could undermine U.S. core advantages in AI while providing NVIDIA with significant revenue [16]. - The AI computing race is not solely a technological competition but also a geopolitical struggle, with the potential for U.S. market restrictions to accelerate China's domestic technology development [16].
