马斯克认同台积电对芯片产能过剩的担忧。他指出,AI发展的核心瓶颈正在从芯片制造转向"芯片启动"能力,即电力、变压器与冷却系统的部署进度。目前,这些基础设施的线性扩 张速度,已严重落后于芯片产能的指数级增长。 作者 | 李 佳 近日马斯克表示,台积电对芯片产能过剩的担忧"是对的"。他预测,AI行业的限制因素将从芯片制造转向"把芯片开启运行",这一转变的 核心瓶颈在于电力供 应、变压器配置和冷却系统部署。 1月6日,马斯克与奇点大学执行主席彼得·迪亚曼迪斯(Peter Diamandis)和Link Ventures创始人戴维·布伦丁 (David Blundin)开展了一场关于AI未来的深度对 话。他指出,当前芯片产能正呈指数级增长,而支撑其运行的能源基础设施却只能线性扩张。当两条曲线交叉时, 大量高性能AI芯片将因缺乏配套的电力转换设 备和冷却系统而无法投入使用。 这一判断直指当前AI基础设施建设被严重低估的问题。对于投资者而言,这意味着AI算力竞赛的焦点正在从芯片采购转向能源基础设施建设能力。 01 电力成为AI部署的"速率限制" 在对话中,马斯克进一步揭示了AI基础设施中电力瓶颈的具体形态。他强调, 部署 ...
