H100 Rental Price Index — SDH100RT
Silicon Data H100 Rental Price Index
Daily benchmark for NVIDIA H100 hourly rental pricing, with separate neo-cloud and hyperscaler readings. The Neo-Cloud index is published daily as ticker SDH100RT.
ABOUT THIS INDEX
What the H100 Silicon Index tracks
The H100 Rental Price Index (Neo-Cloud ticker SDH100RT) is the Silicon Data benchmark for NVIDIA H100 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 index separates neo-cloud and hyperscaler pricing into distinct readings so buyers can compare segments directly. Every observation entering the calculation is standardized for rental term length, cluster scale, and interconnect — the index reflects the underlying compute cost, not the headline rate on any single provider's website.
Investors and operators planning H100 deployments feed live H100 index prices into procurement, hedging, and GPU payback models before committing capex.
Together this represents more than 80% of the available global GPU rental market today.
PRICE DRIVERS
What drives H100 rental prices
H100 rental prices move with the broad balance of supply and demand for GPU capacity — new clusters and provider capacity coming online, the pace at which workloads shift toward newer accelerators, and the mix of on-demand versus reserved commitments. 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 H100 index is calculated
The H100 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 H100 rental price is $2.53 per GPU-hour, based on the Silicon Data H100 Rental Price Index (Neo-Cloud ticker SDH100RT). The reading is a standardized, like-for-like rate across neo-cloud and hyperscaler providers, and the two segment readings are published separately on this page.
Hyperscaler on-demand capacity typically prices above neo-cloud and marketplace supply. The index publishes both segment readings so you can see the spread and how it moves.
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 H100 capacity in USD per GPU-hour, drawn from neo-cloud providers, hyperscalers, colocation markets, and private rental platforms.
SDH100RT is published daily as a standardized, like-for-like hourly rate across tracked H100 providers; observations are standardized for machine specs, rental terms, platform performance, and geography, statistical outliers removed, and each day's value independently validated.
