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.

Northern Data has earlier used shell companies, mostly connected with its shareholders, to purchase Bitcoin mining equipment and GPUs.

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一樣，許多其他礦商（即Hive、Crusoe和Hut 8）也向急需芯片的初創公司租用了GPU。由於在2022年9月的節能改革之後，GPU對以太坊礦工來說基本上沒有用處，因此該策略已成爲新的收入來源。

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是希望處理大型數據集的人工智能公司使用的圖形處理單元，每芯片的價格爲40,000美元。英偉達預計將在2023年全年共交付55萬枚H100芯片。Thillainathan指出，佔據高需求GPU分配的2％對該公司來說是罕見的。
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.
對GPU和雲計算的投資是許多國家最近出現的趨勢。英國政府顯然已爲GPU撥款1.2億美元，而沙特阿拉伯已經購買了英偉達H100芯片中的約3,000個。
