二手GPU市场已成领先指标,警报正在拉响
过去两轮资本开支震荡之前,二手加速卡价格都率先转向。本月,价格再度掉头。

有一个多数投资者从不关注的市场,却预判了过去两轮AI资本开支的拐点4:二手加速卡价格,其中绝大多数是英伟达产品。各家AI实验室超量下单、需求转弱时,二手整机柜市场最先显出端倪。本月,二手价格掉头向下。1
逻辑很清晰
逻辑很清晰。新芯片按配额分配、按合同供货,行情并不透明;二手芯片在公开市场出清,因而能实时定价。3 当转售加速卡的成交价跌破折旧后的账面价值,就意味着有人在抛售算力,而抛售是需求信号,不是供给信号。
反向解读同样重要
反向解读同样重要。转售价走软,也可能意味着新增供给终于松动5,而不是需求垮了。两种情形在约一个季度内看起来一模一样,而分清二者,正是这笔交易的全部。
关键在于谁在卖出
关键在于谁在卖出6。若是倒闭的初创公司在清仓变现,那是噪音;若是资金充裕的实验室悄悄退还租赁的算力2,那才是真正的信号。
这个指标领先,但不精确。过去两次震荡前它都闪过警示,也错报过一次。把它当烟雾报警器,而不是定论。
