英伟达正把账上的巨额现金,转成 AI 基础设施竞争中的新优势。除了卖出 GPU,这家公司还在通过担保、联合融资和长期采购承诺,推动更多采用其芯片的数据中心项目落地。

联合华尔街放大资金能力

报道指出,英伟达截至 4 月持有超过 800 亿美元现金及有价投资,当季还产生约 500 亿美元经营现金流。与部分科技巨头相比,英伟达并不需要承担同等规模的数据中心自建成本,这让它有更大空间把资金投向生态扩张。

英伟达本周推出一项新计划,拟引入至少 5000 亿美元外部资本,用于建设更多由英伟达芯片驱动的 AI 基础设施。参与方包括 Apollo、Blackstone 和高盛等华尔街机构。

资金支持延伸到客户和创业公司

报道还称,英伟达正就一个价值数千亿美元的 OpenAI 数据中心项目提供担保支持。与此同时,公司也在为一批专注 AI 的云服务商提供财务背书,帮助它们采购 GPU。

除了大型融资项目,英伟达还在提前锁定稀缺零部件,并通过 NVentures 和 Inception 等项目投资、扶持 AI 初创公司。若被投企业成长起来,英伟达既可能获得投资回报,也能带动后续芯片销售。

竞争焦点转向融资能力

多位业内人士认为,供应商利用资产负债表帮助客户购买产品并非新做法,但英伟达的规模明显更大。AMD 过去也曾为客户提供类似支持,博通近期也与 Apollo、Blackstone 合作推出 AI 基础设施融资平台,但分析师认为,两者都难以复制英伟达的资金体量。

对新兴 AI 云服务商而言,这类支持尤其关键。GMI Cloud 首席执行官表示,若没有英伟达介入,公司很难承接与 AI 初创公司 Fireworks 的一笔九位数合同。另一家 AI 硬件创业公司 Majestic Labs 也表示,即便客户愿意采购数十亿美元设备,初创企业通常也无法像英伟达那样提供融资背书。

随着 AI 数据中心建设持续升温,英伟达的角色已不只是芯片供应商。它也在帮助一些原本未必能开工的项目获得资金,这同时可能压缩客户转向 AMD 或谷歌自研芯片的空间。

补充信息:报道同时提到,英伟达与客户之间不断加深的财务联系,已引发对循环融资的担忧;也有业内人士认为,只要 GPU 需求维持高位,相关算力仍可转租给其他买家,以分散单一项目风险。
