H200 Rental Price Index
Silicon Data H200 Rental Price Index
Daily benchmark for NVIDIA H200 hourly rental pricing — a single standardized reading across the GPU rental market. Published every day.
ABOUT THIS INDEX
What the H200 Silicon Index tracks
The H200 Rental Price Index is the Silicon Data benchmark for NVIDIA H200 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 H200 pairs the Hopper compute of the H100 with 141GB of HBM3e memory and substantially higher bandwidth, making it the preferred choice for memory-bound inference and long-context serving.
The index blends neo-cloud, hyperscaler, colocation, and private-market observations into a single standardized reading. 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 H200 deployments feed live H200 index prices into procurement, hedging, and GPU payback models before committing capex.
H200 shares the Hopper platform with H100, so provider coverage tracks closely as data centers upgrade memory-bound fleets.
PRICE DRIVERS
What drives H200 rental prices
H200 rental prices sit between H100 and B200 and move with the value of memory capacity and bandwidth. Its 141GB of HBM3e makes it the preferred choice for memory-bound inference and long-context serving, sustaining a premium over H100 wherever model size or KV-cache is the binding constraint. As Blackwell supply broadens, some frontier training demand migrates past H200 to B200, while inference demand keeps a durable floor under H200 rates. 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 H200 index is calculated
The H200 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 H200 rental price is $3.10 per GPU-hour, based on the Silicon Data H200 Rental Price Index. 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 H200 capacity in USD per GPU-hour, drawn from neo-cloud providers, hyperscalers, colocation markets, and private rental platforms.
H200 typically rents at a premium to H100 and below B200, reflecting its larger 141GB HBM3e memory and higher bandwidth on the same Hopper compute. The spread over H100 is widest for memory-bound inference and long-context workloads, while B200 commands more where raw training throughput is the priority. All indices are published on the same standardized, like-for-like basis, so the differences reflect real market pricing rather than methodology.
