B200 Rental Price Index — SDB200RT
Silicon Data B200 Rental Price Index
Daily benchmark for NVIDIA Blackwell B200 hourly rental pricing — a single standardized reading across the GPU rental market. Published every day as ticker SDB200RT.
ABOUT THIS INDEX
What the B200 Silicon Index tracks
The B200 Rental Price Index (SDB200RT) is the Silicon Data benchmark for NVIDIA Blackwell B200 GPU rental pricing. It is published daily as a standardized, like-for-like hourly rate expressed in USD per GPU-hour, drawn from observations across neo-cloud providers, hyperscalers, colocation markets, and private rental platforms. The B200 is the successor to H100 — the flagship for frontier training workloads where per-GPU throughput gains on Blackwell justify a premium over Hopper.
The index blends neo-cloud, hyperscaler, colocation, and private-market observations into a single standardized reading. Supply remains constrained relative to demand, so expect wider bid-ask spreads than on older indices until broader provider rollout.
Investors underwriting B200-based deployments use SiteIQ — the Silicon Data data center capacity-planning platform — to model the premium-cost economics, feeding live B200 prices into deployable power, climate-adjusted PUE, and payback timelines before committing capex.
B200 coverage is expanding rapidly as more neo-cloud providers bring Blackwell capacity online.
PRICE DRIVERS
What drives B200 rental prices
B200 rental prices are set by a market where supply is still catching up with demand. Limited initial provider rollout keeps Blackwell capacity constrained relative to frontier training demand, and large AI labs locking in multi-year reserved capacity absorb much of that supply ahead of broader availability — both keeping on-demand rates elevated. Underpinning the premium is raw throughput: fewer B200s can do the work of substantially more H100s on modern training workloads, so per-GPU economics justify paying up. Because the index reports a standardized hourly rate, these forces show up as movements in a like-for-like benchmark rather than in any single provider's list price.
Methodology
How the B200 index is calculated
The B200 Silicon Index is calculated daily from observations across cloud providers, colocation markets, brokered cluster sales, and private rental platforms. Observations are standardized for machine specs, rental terms, platform performance, and geolocation, then filtered for outliers and independently validated before publication.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The current B200 rental price is $5.45 per GPU-hour, based on the Silicon Data B200 Rental Price Index (ticker SDB200RT). The reading is a standardized, like-for-like rate across neo-cloud and hyperscaler providers.
New cluster availability and provider capacity additions, substitution pressure as other accelerators come online, and contract length (on-demand vs reserved). Every observation is standardized before it enters the index.
The realized, standardized hourly rental price of NVIDIA Blackwell B200 capacity in USD per GPU-hour, drawn from neo-cloud providers, hyperscalers, colocation markets, and private rental platforms.
B200 commands a clear premium over H100 and A100, reflecting Blackwell's throughput advantage and constrained early-rollout supply. The spread over H100 tracks how much of the market values per-GPU performance enough to pay up, and it is expected to compress as more providers bring Blackwell capacity online. All indices are published on the same standardized, like-for-like basis, so the differences reflect real market pricing rather than methodology.
SDB200RT is published daily as a standardized, like-for-like hourly rate across tracked B200 providers; observations are standardized for machine specs, rental terms, platform performance, and geography, statistical outliers removed, and each day's value independently validated.
