On November 8, 2026, NVIDIA's B200 rental price rose to $6.81 per GPU per hour, continuing to set new records. The H100 briefly surged to $3.04 over the weekend, before slightly retreating to $3 yesterday, continuing its approach to the September 2024 high. The A100 rose to $1.59 on Friday and remained around that level. Overall, demand for new-generation GPUs continues to support the rise in B200 prices, while the previous generation's main model, the H100, remains strong. The oldest version, the A100, has seen relatively small price fluctuations this year, but its recent continuous rise indicates that overall demand remains robust.
-------- 1. The GPU rental price index mainly tracks the actual rental quotes for NVIDIA A100, H100, and B200 GPUs from cloud service providers, data centers, and the private rental market each day.
2. A100, H100, and B200 are NVIDIA's three generations of GPU chips, from oldest to newest. Generally, newer GPUs offer better performance and are better suited for large-scale, complex models, and their rental prices are typically higher.
3. Due to the high price and rapid updates of GPUs, many companies choose to lease chips from cloud service providers and data centers to save on investment costs. A rise in related indices usually indicates a tighter GPU supply and stronger demand; a decline suggests increased supply or cooling demand. By observing price trends and comparing the price difference between new and old GPUs, investors can understand the current state of AI computing power.
