These prices are insane- you can do much, much better than those prices if you negotiate. If you're paying $7.20 per GPU-hour for an H100, you should find another supplier.

The rule-of-thumb over a few decades is that enterprise initial quote pricing is usually 200% of the lowest negotiated price. That final price should be between 9% (PC commodity margins) to 50%+ profit over costs of sales.

Also, I really would like to know what the real (unit) costs of goods of H100's would be, but that's proprietary info no one outside of Nvidia execs and accountants would ever see.

Yeah, it's absurd. Current market pricing is more like $4.50 for hourly on-demand and around $2 for long term reservations.

Agreed, that’s what I’m seeing too.
