- GPU云服务商GMI获英伟达等投资方6.68亿美元融资成立五年、面向企业客户提供搭载英伟达芯片服务器的GMI Cloud于周三宣布，完成6.68亿美元股权+债权融资。本轮融资表明，英伟达仍在持续扶持新兴中小型云服务商，重点支持那些能从多维度助推英伟达业务发展的企业。 GMI全称General Machine Intelligence（通用机器智能），是七家完全依照英伟达标准建设算力中心的云厂商之一，这类厂商完整采用英伟达软硬件全栈方案。该公司同时加入了英伟达AI算力合作新项目：英伟达为新建算力基地提供信贷支持，作为回报，将从这些基地后续产生的云业务营收中分润。 本轮融资中，2.23亿美元股权融资由新晋AI与机器人投资机构ARCHIV领投，英伟达参与跟投。公司未披露估值，但称其合同年化营收超6亿美元。 新募集资金将助力GMI Cloud在美国与亚洲扩充AI算力。 海量资讯、精准解读，尽在新浪财经APP 责任编辑：刘明亮 新浪财经公众号 24小时滚动播报最新的财经资讯和视频，更多粉丝福
- 9月30日美股成交额前20：美光涨超1%，将于周三盘后公布Q4财报周一美股成交额第2名英伟达收跌0.72%，成交228.18亿美元。 伯恩斯坦在最新全球存储行业报告中表示，当前存储芯片周期仍处于高景气阶段，DRAM和NAND供需紧张预计将持续至2027年。该行预计，2026年第三季度传统DRAM和NAND平均售价均将环比上涨接近20%，第四季度仍有望继续上涨。不过，随着长期供应协议（LTA）价格上限逐渐限制进一步涨价空间，以及新增产能陆续释放，当前超级景气周期预计将在2028年开始“正常化”。 伯恩斯坦还调整了对英伟达（NVDA.US）下一代AI芯片Rubin Ultra的HBM需求预测。该行目前假设，Rubin Ultra中约一半芯片将配置8层堆叠HBM，另一半采用12层堆叠HBM，从而将其平均HBM容量假设由1024GB下调至640GB。 不过，这并不意味着整体存储供需格局将因此明显转弱。伯恩斯坦认为，减少的HBM需求可以释放部分产能，用于生产更多传统服务器DRAM。HBM需求假设下降所释

- 江波龙：存储产业供需关系仍将维持偏紧态势格隆汇9月30日｜就如何看待存储价格未来变化趋势，9月29日，江波龙在最新披露的投资者关系活动记录表中表示，结合第三方机构公布的信息来看，AI在云端和端侧落地，是较为明确的产业趋势，并将带来巨大的存储需求增量；受过往周期影响，海外原厂仍维持相对审慎的NAND资本开支计划，更多通过技术升级实现相对温和的NAND供给增长，因此存储产业供需关系仍将维持偏紧态势。
