Northern Data, meanwhile, will acquire a 70% ownership stake in exchange for shares equal to 20% of its ownership. The company also has the option to acquire the remaining shell company, however, no deal has yet been finalized and the total cost remains undisclosed.
同时，Northern Data将收购70％的所有权，以换取相当于其所有权20％的股份。该公司也可以选择收购剩下的空壳公司，但是，交易尚未敲定，总成本仍未公开。
Northern Data has earlier used shell companies, mostly connected with its shareholders, to purchase Bitcoin mining equipment and GPUs.
Northern Data早些时候曾使用空壳公司（主要与其股东有联系）来购买比特币采矿设备和GPU。
Like Northern Data, many other miners (i.e., Hive, Crusoe, and Hut 8) have also rented GPUs to startups who are in dire need of the chips. Because GPUs are basically of no use to Ethereum miners post the September 2022 energy-saving overhaul, this strategy has become a new source of revenue.
像Northern Data一样，许多其他矿商（即Hive、Crusoe和Hut 8）也向急需芯片的初创公司租用了GPU。由于在2022年9月的节能改革之后，GPU对以太坊矿工来说基本上没有用处，因此该策略已成为新的收入来源。

H100 is the graphics processing unit used by AI companies looking to process large data sets and is priced at $40,000 per chip. Nvidia is expected to deliver 550,000 in total H100 chips throughout 2023. Thillainathan states that grabbing 2% of the high-demand GPU allocation was rare for the company.
H100是希望处理大型数据集的人工智能公司使用的图形处理单元，每芯片的价格为40,000美元。英伟达预计将在2023年全年共交付55万枚H100芯片。Thillainathan指出，占据高需求GPU分配的2％对该公司来说是罕见的。
Investment in GPUs and cloud computing is a recent trend followed by many countries. The British government has apparently allocated $120 million for GPUs, while Saudi Arabia has already purchased around 3,000 of Nvidia's H100 chips.
对GPU和云计算的投资是许多国家最近出现的趋势。英国政府显然已为GPU拨款1.2亿美元，而沙特阿拉伯已经购买了英伟达H100芯片中的约3,000个。
