[SMM Computing Flash] Huawei Ascend 910-B2 Monthly Rent of 15,000 Yuan Highlights Competitiveness, Cross-Regional Cluster Networking Becomes a Deployment Bottleneck
SMM learned that a carrier's intelligent computing center in East China is currently offering Huawei Ascend 910-B2 computing power resources for lease at a monthly rent of approximately 15,000 yuan, which is quite price-competitive in the current domestic computing power leasing market. The resources are of the Ascend 910-B2 specification (64GB video memory/full machine), suitable for mainstream large model training and inference workloads. However, SMM understands that the actual clearance of these resources faces certain obstacles: the prospective lessee's existing computing equipment is deployed in its own IDC computer room, and it needs to integrate the newly leased resources with the existing equipment into a unified computing cluster to achieve coordinated scheduling. But the carrier's resources are located in a remote intelligent computing center, and due to constraints such as network latency, cross-room interconnection bandwidth, and operational consistency, the "device travel" solution (i.e., cross-room remote management of computing power resources to incorporate them into the client's own cluster) is difficult to implement, causing the transaction to stall.

[SMM Computing Power Flash] A computing power platform in Guizhou has exhausted its resources and is urgently seeking domestic computing power to supplement supply.
SMM learned that a computing power operation enterprise in Guizhou currently has no idle computing power resources available on its platform for scheduling, with its existing GPU servers and domestically produced AI accelerator cards all operating under full load. Recently, as multiple industry large models have entered the fine-tuning and inference deployment stages intensively, computing power demand surged in the short term, causing the platform's computing power resources to be fully strained. It is understood that the enterprise is actively seeking domestically produced computing power resources as a supplement. As a core hub of the "East Data West Computing" project, Guizhou, according to the Guizhou Provincial Big Data Development Administration's publication *Compute to Guizhou | Digital Intelligence Empowers the Building of a Computing Power Hub*, had its total computing power scale surpass 160 EFLOPS in 2025, with the domestically produced intelligent computing share exceeding 98%. However, short-term structural supply-demand mismatch still exists, and the phenomenon of "one card is hard to find" during peak seasons occasionally occurs on some small and medium-sized computing power platforms.
