Segment medians. A hyperscaler list price and a marketplace bid are different products; the headline median above spans all of them.

Prices are as listed by providers at scrape time; availability at a listed price isn’t guaranteed. Links marked ↗ may be affiliate links — they never affect prices shown or ordering.

NVIDIA L40 and NVIDIA L40S are tracked as separate SKUs — different interconnect, different performance, different market. Comparing them in one number would be wrong, so we don’t.
