Price history
Each point is the daily cross-provider median for this SKU and pricing type (per-provider medians first, so no marketplace’s volume dominates). Gaps are gaps — we don’t interpolate missing data.
At today’s median, one NVIDIA L40 works out to $4.57 per petaFLOP-hour (BF16, dense — 181 TFLOPS per the vendor datasheet, sparsity excluded). Price per unit of throughput is how generations actually compare — a cheaper card with fewer FLOPS can cost more per unit of work.
