[SMM Computing Power News] H100 online rental budget rises to 83,000, above the mainstream market upper limit
SMM learned that demand emerged in the market for online leasing of 16 complete H100 systems, with the lessee budgeting no more than 83,000 yuan per unit per month. Compared with the current mainstream H100 quotations of 75,000–82,000 yuan per unit per month, this budget already exceeds the upper end of the range by 1,000 yuan. Looking at the trend, similar demand on July 20 carried a budget of 71,000 yuan, which has been revised upward by 12,000 yuan within a month and a half, an increase of 16.9%. SMM believes that the lessee's rapidly rising budget and willingness to offer a premium reflect that demand-side expectations have been pulled along by spot prices; online deployment eliminates the need for relocation and data center coordination, and this convenience is now being priced separately.
