Huang Renxun said that GPUs from 5 years ago were like old wine: the more they aged, the more fragrant they became, and the price would increase According to a report by Golden Finance, on May 14th, according to Fast Technology, GPU has become one of the most scarce computing resources in the context of the explosive demand for AI, and even old chips from five years ago have continued to rise in price. According to media reports, Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun recently referred to this phenomenon as the "Fine Wine Effect". It is understood that the term "Fine Wine" was first used during the AMD Vega era to describe how GPUs continuously improve performance through driver optimization. However, its meaning has now changed and is more commonly used to describe GPU prices rising over time. Nvidia has stated that AI demand is driving the GPU market into an explosive growth phase, with almost all data centers running AI businesses globally relying on GPUs. Despite the synchronous increase in CPU demand, GPUs remain the core source of computing power. Currently, global semiconductor manufacturers are facing tight production capacity, which further drives up the prices of various hardware, including GPUs, and the older generation GPUs are also affected. Even products from 4-5 years ago are still experiencing continuous appreciation. Huang Renxun pointed out that the price increase of old GPUs even exceeds the aging speed of good wine, and still has strong demand in the market. (Dongxin Society)
