SMM learned from intermediary feedback that a Ningbo data center had 45 units of spot 4090 8-card server resources, offered for rent only as an entire batch without splitting, already networked and delivered, with a one-year fixed-price contract, current-month fees due in the current month, no deposit required, and an external quotation of 8,500 yuan/unit/month. After verification, the source of this batch of resources was a computing power service provider. During the same period, the actual transaction price of 4090 8-card servers in the Shanghai market was 7,200 yuan/unit/month; some resources with expiring lease terms were once quoted at 6,900 yuan for a quick sale, but were ultimately still traded at 7,200 yuan. There was a clear price spread between intermediary asking prices and first-hand market transaction prices, and the first-hand transaction anchor of the 4090 market remained around 7,200 yuan.
