[SMM Computing Power Flash] South China: 40 RTX 4090 GPUs for half-year fixed-term lease, monthly rent 7,300 yuan

SMM has learned that RTX 4090 server rental transaction prices have become relatively transparent. Low-price resources below 7,000 yuan/month warrant caution, as they may involve risks such as unclear ownership and goods under supervision. A certain channel dealer had previously offered such resources, but the test failed, possibly due to ownership issues or because the goods were under supervision, resulting in low market acceptance. SMM believes that the transparent monthly rental range for the standard RTX 4090 is approximately 7,100–7,300 yuan, and low prices often point to ownership defects; lessees should verify the ownership and equipment status.

In August 2026, the AIDC Division of SMM (Shanghai Metals Market) officially signed a computing power leasing price collection cooperation agreement with Guangzhou Lingjing Technology Co., Ltd., making Lingjing Technology one of the SMM computing power price index price submitters.

The computing power leasing market moved sideways overall today. In south-west China, the monthly rental quote for the 910B was 16,000 yuan per unit per month; for a certain domestic eight-card server, the procurement quote was approximately 760,000 yuan per unit, including three-year maintenance and installation services, with a per-card procurement cost of about 95,000 yuan per card. Rental and procurement prices emerged simultaneously, providing an anchor for the domestic computing power pricing system. Domestic computing power is transitioning from a price discovery phase to a price anchoring period, and the supply structure is expanding toward diversified computing power.
