[SMM Computing Power Express] Spot A100-80G supply is tight, and market quotations are markedly divergent.

Published: Jul 7, 2026 12:54
Spot A100-80G supply is tight, with a smart computing service provider reporting no current stock. Two quotes have emerged in the market: 32 units near-spot in east China (2-week delivery, InfiniBand networking, 3-year contract) quoted at 38,000 per month per unit; 32 units spot in Jiangsu (3-year closed-end contract, strong counterparties, one month deposit and one month rent) quoted at 31,500 per month per unit. The price spread between the two quotes is significant, and SMM analysis suggests they may be the same batch of goods circulated through multiple intermediaries. On the client side, an intended one-year closed-end bid is only 30,000 per month per unit, showing a clear gap with supply-side quotes. The service provider indicated that its focus has shifted toward tokens and models, and it currently has no demand for hardware leasing.

SMM has learned that two large orders for leasing 128 H100 eight-GPU servers have appeared in the market recently. A buyer in Hangzhou, besides H100, also inquired about higher computing power, with the budget undisclosed; another buyer is negotiating with a supplier in Inner Mongolia. The supplier holds 64 H100 servers spot and offered 80,000 yuan, which the buyer considers high. Both demand orders are for 128 H100 servers, but a certain intelligent computing service provider reported that no single supplier in the current market can deliver 128 H100 servers in a cluster. Meanwhile, industry insiders pointed out that 128 H100 servers far exceed the needs of the commonly used large model DeepSeek V4pro full-blooded version. Based on the above information, SMM believes that there is a significant discrepancy between the reported demand and actual demand in the current market.
