US gamers finally grapple with GPU inflation: RTX 50 series surges 39% in two months.
According to leading PC hardware analysis platform Tom's Hardware, retail prices of NVIDIA’s RTX 50 series graphics cards have surged sharply in the U.S. market recently, with mid-range models bearing the brunt of the hikes, as some variants see price increases of up to 39%. Data shows the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB has posted the most dramatic jump: its median price soared from $569.99 two months ago to $804.99 (approximately 5,429 yuan), marking a 39% rise. The RTX 5070’s price growth is equally striking, with its median value jumping from $659.99 to $899.99 (around 6,070 yuan), a 36% increase. This pricing pushes the RTX 5070 well beyond the mid-range tier, bringing it close to the more powerful RTX 5070 Ti.

Anthropic is reportedly planning to go public in September or early October and is currently holding pre-IPO meetings with potential investors.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Anthropic is meeting with potential investors to boost confidence in what could be the largest IPO in history. The $965 billion AI giant faces new challenges including the rise of low-cost AI systems, tensions with the Trump administration, and growing local opposition to its U.S. data center projects.
People familiar with the matter say investors have raised these issues with Anthropic executives in recent pre-IPO meetings, asking how the factors could hit the company’s growth—reflecting persistent uncertainty over who will win the AI race and the financial stability underpinning the competition.
Executives downplayed the impact of low-cost AI system competition in the meetings, telling investors Anthropic is focused on delivering cutting-edge AI models. The company plans to go public in September or early October, but has not disclosed specific pricing plans or a detailed timeline. Those present at the meetings add that Anthropic told some investors it plans to further expand into AI applications for healthcare and biology.

Serenity: Revenue inflection points for most AI data center companies are likely to occur in the second half of 2027
Serenity noted in a report that Riot Platforms (RIOT) has signed a $9.1 billion agreement with Anthropic, with a 20-year term; if all subsequent extension options are exercised, the total value could reach up to $16.1 billion. It also stated that AMD has exercised its option to expand its existing partnership with Riot, and Riot has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with a potential tenant for another 1GW campus. On project timelines, Serenity pointed out that the revenue inflection point for most data center hosting-related stocks is likely to occur in the second half of 2027. For example, the Riot-Anthropic partnership is scheduled to deliver its first 96MW capacity in December 2027, while the AMD-related 50MW capacity is expected to be fully operational by May 2027. Serenity said it is "interesting" to see companies like IREN, which were once primarily focused on Bitcoin mining, gradually growing into AI data center and computing power infrastructure providers.
