摩尔线程冲刺科创板:国产GPU的破局者。从技术积累到商业变现
Ge Long Hui· 2025-07-10 02:57
近期,致力于国产高性能GPU研发的摩尔线程智能科技(北京)股份有限公司(以下简称"摩尔线程")向科创板提交 的首次公开募股(IPO)申请正式获受理。此举标志着这家本土科技新锐即将登陆资本市场,其发展路径与核心竞争 力也随之揭幕。 资本市场的关注点,在于摩尔线程交出的"成长答卷"。 公司最新披露的招股说明书(申报稿),首次全面展示了其深 耕全功能GPU领域的技术积累与商业化潜力,尤其是其构建的全栈技术壁垒和亮眼的增长曲线,成为市场审视其"破 局"实力的关键窗口。 一、技术优势构筑自主GPU"护城河" 这份"答卷"的首要亮点,在于摩尔线程构建了从芯片到集群的全栈技术壁垒。 摩尔线程的"杀手锏"在于其全功能GPU架构MUSA,该架构涵盖统一的芯片架构、指令集、编程模型、软件运行库及 驱动程序框架等关键要素。基于自主研发的MUSA架构,摩尔线程率先实现了在单芯片架构同时支持AI计算加速、图 形渲染、物理仿真和科学计算、超高清视频编解码的技术突破,并且在FP8技术研发上取得系统性突破,成为国内少 数掌握该项技术的GPU厂商。 自2020年成立以来,摩尔线程共发布5颗芯片,快速完成了四代全功能GPU架构的迭代和智能SoC ...
AI为什么还没有替代你的工作?

然而,数据显示,应届毕业生相对整体失业率的上升趋势,早在生成式AI兴起之前的2009年便已开 始。并且,他们当前的实际失业率(约4%)仍处于历史较低水平。若将此归咎于AI,显然缺乏足够依 据。 更广泛的就业数据显示,即便在那些被认为最易受AI影响的白领岗位(如办公室文员、财务操作、销 售支持等),也未出现因AI应用而导致岗位显著减少的迹象。事实上,过去一年,美国白领职业的就 业占比甚至略有上升。 从整体失业率来看,美国依然维持在4.2%左右的低位,薪资增长保持稳健。其他主要经济体如英国、 欧元区和日本,收入增长也呈现积极态势。经济合作与发展组织(OECD)成员国的整体就业率在2024 年更是创下历史新高。 这些现象背后,可能存在两种主要解释: 一、AI为什么还没有替代你的工作? 根据经济学人的观察,尽管一些学者指出了自动化与特定行业(如翻译)需求下降之间的关联,但美国 官方数据却显示,从事口译、翻译等相关职业的人数,在过去一年中反而实现了7%的增长。这表明, 至少在某些领域,AI的出现不仅没有造成岗位的净流失,反而可能因为提升了行业效率或拓展了服务 边界,间接刺激了新的需求。 另一个值得关注的现象来自企业层面 ...
