[SMM Computing Power Flash] An Intelligent Computing Company Quoted Monthly Rental Prices for Multiple GPU Models Including H100, A100, RTX 5090, All Requiring Annual Contracts
According to an SMM telephone survey, a certain intelligent computing company disclosed that the monthly rental for spot H100 was about 76,000 yuan, A100 (40G) about 13,000 yuan/month, and the 80G version was out of stock; an eight-card 5090 complete system was about 12,000 yuan/month. All card types required a minimum one-year contract and did not accept short-term rentals. The contact explained that equipment procurement costs were high and they needed to recoup their investment quickly, coupled with rapid GPU iteration, meaning idle periods during short-term rentals would cause significant losses. The specific location of the data center was not disclosed. The company stated that it mainly serves corporate clients, does not have its own server rooms, cooperates with data centers for operations, and is not involved in personal distribution for the time being.
