[affected by the upsurge in the development of AI models, the price of AI servers has risen nearly 20 times in less than a year. Affected by the upsurge in the development of AI (artificial intelligence) models, the market demand for computing power has greatly increased. AI server, as one of the computing infrastructure, can process large amounts of data quickly and accurately because of its advantages such as graphic rendering and parallel computing of massive data, and the market value is becoming increasingly prominent. Recently, the market demand has increased greatly, coupled with the continuing shortage of GPU (image processor, acceleration chip) chips, the core components of AI server, and the rising price of GPU. Recently, the price of AI server has risen sharply. Some companies have revealed that the price of the AI server they bought in June last year has increased nearly 20 times in less than a year. Over the same period, the price of GPU has also been rising. For example, the unit price of A100GPU has reached 150000 yuan, up 50% from 100000 yuan two months ago, while the price of A800 is relatively smaller, with a price of about 95000 yuan, compared with about 89000 yuan last month.
