The production of one card costs 3320 dollars
It looks like Nvidia is making a ton of money out of AI accelerators, not just because demand far outstrips supply. Judging by recent data, the margin on such products is simply colossal.
According to one of Barron’s analysts, Nvidia earns almost 1000% on one H100 accelerator. And in some cases more.
It is reported that the production of one such card costs Nvidia 3320 dollars. The company sells these adapters to customers at prices ranging from $25,000 to $30,000. At the same time, we recall that in China, the H100 can cost up to $70,000.
Of course, even if the calculations are correct, they do not include R&D costs, but this does not change the fact that Nvidia makes a lot of money on each accelerator.
