How much have cloud GPU prices dropped since 2023?
It's not a one-way decline: across SKUs with recorded 2023 list prices, some fell sharply (the H100 PCIe was cut from $2.40 to $1.99 within months of launch) while others rose or never moved at all (the RTX A6000 has listed at $0.80/hr since January 2023).
- NVIDIA A100 40GB PCIe: $1.10 (2023-12-03) → $1.57 (2026-09-25) — +43%.
- NVIDIA A100 40GB SXM: $1.10 (2023-12-03) → $1.72 (2026-09-25) — +56%.
- NVIDIA A100 80GB SXM: $1.50 (2023-12-03) → $1.85 (2026-09-25) — +23%.
- NVIDIA H100 PCIe: $2.40 (2023-05-12) → $2.75 (2026-09-25) — +14%.
- NVIDIA H100 SXM: $2.59 (2023-08-10) → $3.93 (2026-09-25) — +52%.
- NVIDIA RTX A6000: $0.80 (2023-01-02) → $0.79 (2026-09-25) — -2%.
