Xingyun Technology announced on the evening of September 3 that it has signed a Computing Power Leasing Agreement with a VD client to provide computing power resource leasing services for a term of five years, with a total tax-inclusive amount of 921.6 million yuan.

This is its third round of price hikes this year, following increases in March and May. STMicroelectronics, Analog Devices, Maxscend Microelectronics and several other manufacturers have also adjusted prices.
