Depreciation Period
The number of years over which the cost of a long-term asset is allocated in the income statement. The length of the period directly affects profit pressure in a given period; for computing assets it also reflects the pace of technological iteration and the aggressiveness of accounting assumptions.

When evaluating AI infrastructure investment, depreciation cycles should be incorporated into the financial model (for example, a three-year payback assumption and a ten-year payback assumption have different risk profiles), which is more valuable for decision-making than following financing news.
The logic of computing power as an asset means that enterprises will reflect their computing power investment through capital expenditure (CapEx), depreciation cycles, and long-term purchase commitments.
The shorter the depreciation cycle, the greater the current-period profit pressure, but it may also reflect the reality of faster technology iteration.
