As of November 1, 2026, NVIDIA's B200 rental price hit a record high of $6.64 per GPU per hour on Saturday, slightly decreasing to $6.50 over the weekend; the H100 rose slightly to $2.93; and the A100 remained at $1.56. Overall, the prices of the three chips continued their previous trend: the new generation B200 continued its upward trend, indicating strong demand for chip upgrades; the previous generation's main model, the H100, remained firm; and the oldest version, the A100, saw little price change this year, but no significant decline either, indicating continued strong overall demand.
-------- 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.
