随着人工智能技术和产业的快速发展，全球围绕AI的战略竞争正日益加剧。智算中心作为支撑大模型训练与推理的核心基础设施，已成为各国科技竞争 中的"新基建"。 《IT时报》去年曾报道，国内地方政府、科技巨头和电信运营商纷纷加码智算中心项目，投资规模从百亿级跃升至千亿级。 然而，今年以来，随着国际市场风向发生微妙变化，这场算力建设热潮也出现波动。如微软，已宣布暂停多个数据中心项目，释放出"收缩"信号。尽管全 球科技公司仍在持续加大AI投入，但"许多项目缺乏明确客户""AI服务器集群供应过剩"的声音不绝于耳。阿里巴巴集团董事会主席蔡崇信就警告称，美国 AI数据中心或陷入建设泡沫。 而在国内市场，审慎转向的迹象同样出现。 一边是热火朝天的建设，一边是宏观调控的降温，智算中心是否已由"香饽饽"变成"鸡肋"？国产算力建设是否过剩了？ 01 投资热度未减 中国通信工业协会数据中心委员会发布的《中国智算中心产业发展白皮书（2024年）》（以下简称《白皮书》）显示，截至2024年11月，全国已投运的智 算中心项目近150个，在建及规划中的项目接近400个。 截至2024年8月，全国智算中心项目总数已超过300个，公布算力规模超过5 ...
