Among them, products such as the PingTouGe ZhenWu 810E computing cards have risen by 5%-34%, and the file storage product CPFS (Intelligent Computing Version) has increased by 30%. According to informed sources, another important reason for this round of price increases is the "surge in token call volume." Alibaba Cloud's MaaS business has achieved its highest growth rate in history from January to March this year. Alibaba Cloud is directing scarce AI computing resources towards token businesses. Datong Securities pointed out that as AI applications extend from training to inference, the market demands lower latency and higher throughput capabilities from computing hardware. Against this backdrop, core computing chips such as GPUs are accelerating their evolution towards specialized architectures. For example, LPU technology focuses on optimizing inference efficiency, while CPO solutions aim to break through the bandwidth and power consumption bottlenecks of data transmission. The evolution of these technological paths is expected to drive technological upgrades and value reconstruction in areas such as server motherboards, PCBs, and optical interconnects. There is optimism for AI core computing hardware, and component suppliers with relevant core technology reserves are expected to gain development opportunities during the future construction cycle of computing infrastructure.
