Re:H100 GPUs Set Standard for Gen AI in Debut MLPerf Benchmark by tikkun on Tuesday June 27, 2023 @07:08PM (#36499964)
I'm writing a cool mega post on this at the moment – not published yet but here's the excerpt on pricing:

How much do these GPUs cost?

H100s are around $30-33k at the IT hardware resellers CDW and SHI (https://www.cdw.com/product/nvidia-h100-gpu-computing-proces..., https://www.shi.com/product/45671009/NVIDIA-H100-GPU-computi...)

Supermicro’s HGX H100 8x GPU server is $297k at the reseller Dihuni (https://www.dihuni.com/product/supermicro-8125gs-tnhr-server...)

DGX H100 is $521k at the reseller Insight (https://www.insight.com/en_US/shop/product/DGXH-G640F+P2CMI6...)

The DGX GH200 might cost in the range of $10mm-20mm or more (A guesstimate ballpark from an exec at a cloud company I talked with)

If anyone wants to pre-review the post and can offer thoughtful comments, my email's in my profile.

And to clarify the difference between all of these product names, I put together this diagram - https://gpus.llm-utils.org/dgx-gh200-vs-gh200-vs-h100/. I don't have the HGX H100 or the DGX H100 on there though - but the HGX H100 is a reference platform for OEMs to design and make H100 based servers with either 4x H100s or 8x H100s (https://nvdam.widen.net/s/5kgbjq2v2t/hpc-hgx-h100-datasheet-...) and the DGX H100 is the official Nvidia server with 8x H100s (https://resources.nvidia.com/en-us-dgx-systems/ai-enterprise...).

I don't get how Lambda makes money with those prices. 2$ per hour seems too cheap for a >30k$ GPU

it's marketing :)
