Hong Kong Stock Concept Tracking | Major Release from Shanghai! Concerning AI Computing Power, These Subfields are Under Attention (With Related Stocks)
With the rapid development of large AI models, various intelligent applications continue to be implemented, leading to a significant increase in the overall societal demand for AI computing power.
Good news in the computing power sector. On the afternoon of August 11, the Shanghai Municipal Economic and Information Commission issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Software and Information Services Industry in Shanghai" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), which mentions that by 2030, Shanghai aims to build its software and information services industry into an economic growth "Beijing Dynamic Power," a "main battlefield" for AI-enabled applications, and a "bridgehead" for participating in global competition. The main goals are as follows: further expansion of the industry's total volume, aiming for an industrial scale of 4 trillion yuan, and exceeding 1.1 trillion yuan in industrial added value.
The "Plan" clearly states the acceleration of the digital transformation of the intelligent computing cloud industry. It aims to enrich and diversify intelligent computing cloud service offerings, guiding quality cloud service providers to create lightweight, high-throughput AI inference platforms with "expert-level intelligence," adaptable to the massive demand for industry-specific intelligent applications. It also promotes the construction of a comprehensive public platform for intelligent computing that integrates computing power scheduling, model incubation, and application adaptation. Additionally, it supports cloud service providers in transitioning to a model of "computing power + development tools + model services" to enhance integrated services and software engineering capabilities in cloud-network security. The ecosystem of the intelligent computing cloud industry will be improved, focusing on key sectors such as finance, manufacturing, education, healthcare, culture and tourism, and urban governance, to create a number of benchmark applications for industry-specific models. The market-driven reform of computing power elements will be innovated, continuously exploring new investment methods such as equity in exchange for computing power pricing and a new investment attraction model of "computing power resources + application scenarios."
The "Plan" also outlines the implementation of the "Hundred Thousand" intelligent computing cluster project. This will establish a hierarchical supply system that coordinates "large clusters + small clusters + edge computing power," with the aim of building super-large-scale intelligent computing clusters of 100,000 cards in Songjiang, Lingang, and Qingpu, and constructing thousand-card intelligent computing clusters in Baoshan, Pudong, and Jiading. It encourages traditional data centers and information communication rooms to transition to hundred-card edge intelligent computing centers to meet ultra-low latency computing power demands of businesses and individuals.
With the rapid development of large AI models, various intelligent applications are continuously emerging, resulting in a significant increase in societal demand for AI computing power.
At the same time, another piece of news has also boosted the global computing power industry chain. NVIDIA announced on Monday afternoon local time that it has established strategic partnerships with six Wall Street institutions: Apollo Global Management, Blackstone Group, BlackRock, Brookfield Asset Management, Goldman Sachs, and KKR, to set up an independent computing power financing platform aimed at mobilizing over $500 billion in third-party capital for AI infrastructure development.
There is a continuous stream of positive news regarding the domestic computing power industry. Recently, according to CCTV News, the National Development and Reform Commission has reported that this year, Chinas computing power foundation has been further solidified, with the countrys first domestically produced 100,000-card AI super cluster officially launched. This marks that China's computing power infrastructure construction has entered a new stage of 100,000-card level deployment. Many computing power nodes across the country are experiencing a new round of expansion. At the core node of the National Supercomputing Internet in Zhengzhou, the first domestically produced 100,000-card AI super cluster has been put into operation. Staff stated that the uniqueness here lies in the fusion of scientific computing and intelligent computing power, making advanced preparations for potential new types of computing demands in the future.
Moreover, the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Commerce and six other departments recently issued the "Construction Plan for the National Service Trade Innovation Development Demonstration Zone in Shanghai," proposing to promote the overseas use of computing power and foundational large models, support the export of model products such as intelligent agents and multimodal generation, and encourage enterprises and institutions to establish AI research and development centers, open-source platforms, and cooperative laboratories. Promoting the export of AI products and services will not only help unleash domestic AI advantages but also strengthen Chinas voice in the global AI governance landscape. AI companies with international capabilities are expected to benefit from favorable policies.
Looking ahead, Guosheng indicated that capital expenditure by North American cloud service providers has yet to peak and is expected to continue to rise. As multimodal large models, embodied intelligence, and AI agents penetrate deeply into the industry, demand for AI computing power is spreading from the "training end" to the "mass inference end," with the demand slope increasing rather than declining.
Sealand pointed out that overseas CSPs and Neocloud vendors are gradually proving that large-scale capital expenditures in computing power can effectively convert into revenue and profit. Driven by agents, inference demand has long-term sustainable growth potential. Coupled with the significant increase in prices of high-end computing server channels in China, which reflects the current tight supply situation in the industry, it is anticipated that the tension in Chinas AI computing power supply and demand will escalate, and the logic for medium to long-term growth in the computing power rental industry is relatively certain, having entered a period of performance release benefits.
In sub-sectors, CICC noted that the expansion of computing power, combined with electrification transformation, is driving a comprehensive upgrade in thermal management technology, with a compound annual growth rate of 59.8% projected for the global heatsink market from 2025 to 2027. Among them, the market space for data center heatsinks is expected to exceed 315.1 billion yuan by 2027.
