Abstract:

In 2026, China has designated computing-power synergy as a key new infrastructure project, highlighting the urgent need to resolve the contradiction between surging computing demand and energy constraints. Based on defining the connotations of computing-power synergy and the computing power economy, this study reviews the current development status and structural contradictions of China’s computing power economy, dissects the core development logic from four dimensions—energy-information integration, industrial coordination, policy drive, and regional coordination—and proposes five optimization paths: building a national integrated computing power network, deepening the computing-power synergy mechanism, improving the standard system, strengthening technological innovation and talent cultivation, and optimizing policy incentive mechanisms, with a view to providing theoretical insights and practical guidance for the high-quality development of the digital economy.

Key words: computing-power synergy, computing power economy, optimization paths
