Metal

Proprietary daily/weekly 'Computing Power Rental Price Index' tracking China's GPU/AI-accelerator rental market: granular price points and price-spread analytics for domestic AI chips (Huawei Ascend 910B2/910B3/910B4) and imported/legacy GPUs (Nvidia H800, H100, H200, A800, H20) across relocatable vs. online-cloud delivery channels, by region and contract type (single-card spot rental vs. whole-server/bulk contract) — an extension of SMM's core commodity price-reporting business (metals) into computing power as a tracked commodity.
