Nvidia sets different prices for different customers
Incredible demand for Nvidia AI accelerators and sanctions from the United States have led to the fact that such devices in China are becoming more expensive almost every day. According to recent data, Nvidia A800 and H800 accelerators have recently risen in price several times.
The MyDrivers resource does not say, does not specify which of the two models the prices are for, but says that from about $ 16,800 prices have risen to $ 70,000!
To buy Nvidia AI accelerators in China
At the same time, we recall that the accelerators that Nvidia sells in China are created specifically for this market, taking into account sanctions. Relative to the full-fledged A100 and H100, they are cut down in their capabilities.
You also need to understand that this is not about the greed of outbids, since Nvidia supplies such accelerators to China on its own. Interestingly, the source also adds that Nvidia sets prices for each client separately, and these prices depend on how good a relationship that client has with Nvidia and even allegedly personally with its chief Jensen Huang.
Recall that analysts predict that Nvidia will earn about $ 300 billion in 2027 only on accelerators for AI .
