SMM learned that from September 1 to September 4, the RTX 5090 single-card US dollar quote rose from $5,350 to $5,600, an increase of $250 or 4.7% over four days, with market expectations seeing a further rise to $6,000 per card. Over the same period, the RMB-denominated channel moved up in tandem, with the South China turbo version rising from 40,800 yuan per card in mid-August to 43,500 yuan per card, an increase of 6.6%. SMM believes that the two channels in local and foreign currencies saw similar gains and moved in the same direction, and that the price increase was driven mainly by the supply side rather than regional arbitrage. If the $6,000 expectation materializes, there is still 7.1% upside from the current level.

[SMM Computing Power Flash] Pro 6000 Supply-Demand Price Divergence Intensifies, VRAM Advantage Fails to Offset Price Spread

SMM has learned that lessors in east China report a severe mismatch between supply and demand prices for the Pro 6000, with buyers bidding low while holders ask high, making deals increasingly difficult to close. The model was previously leased at 35,000–37,000 yuan per unit per month, a level buyers have clearly been reluctant to accept. Compared with the 5090, the Pro 6000's core advantage lies in its memory specifications, which can support inference deployment for larger-parameter models, yet the monthly rental price spread between the two generally exceeds 18,000 yuan. SMM believes the memory advantage has not yet translated into cost-effectiveness recognized by lessees, and the price discovery process remains in a tug of war, making a near-term volume increase unlikely.

[SMM Computing Power Midday Review] Indices traded flat across the board, 5090 rose at home and abroad, Pro 6000 pricing in a tug-of-war

Indices moved sideways across the board today. The 5090 rose in sync at home and abroad: the dollar quote gained 4.7% over four days to $5,600, with some eyeing $6,000, while the South China turbo version climbed to 43,500 yuan per card (+6.6%), driven by supply rather than regional arbitrage. Supply-demand price divergence for the Pro 6000 is widening, with rental quotes of 35,000–37,000 yuan per month seeing limited acceptance and a spread of more than 18,000 yuan versus the 5090; price discovery remains in a tug of war. If the 5090's rally continues and the spread narrows, it could open up demand space for the Pro 6000.

[SMM Computing Power Flash] Pro 6000 demand cools; 32 new machines in east China not yet listed, awaiting customers

SMM has learned that a capital provider in east China has completed the construction and installation of 32 Pro 6000 eight-GPU full servers, but the units have not yet been put on racks, and no leasing clients have been secured. SMM previously collected a monthly rental quote of 36,000–37,000 yuan per unit per month for the Pro 6000. Recently, signs have also emerged of idle order circulation, with 32 units of the same scale being offered for lease while demand is simultaneously listed. Upstream delivery default risk is rising at the same time. SMM believes that this model uses GDDR7 memory rather than HBM, making it less suitable for training scenarios and leaving its positioning unclear. Coupled with leading cloud vendors bringing similar resources online in batches in September, later-stage demand and capacity face the risk of being squeezed.
