What an hour of an H100 costs.
In dollars, not index points. The median listed on-demand price per GPU-hour across every provider we poll, kept separate by form factor, and recomputable by you from the sealed tape.
reading the tape…
If you arrived because of the futures listing
On 5 October 2026 CME Group and Silicon Data list two contracts on NYMEX — Silicon Data H100 Rental Index Futures and Silicon Data B200 Rental Index Futures, each representing a month of GPU rental, pending regulatory review.
This page is not that index. It does not track Silicon Data's methodology, it settles nothing, and nobody should price a trade off it. It is an independent median of listed prices, published because the question "what does an H100 rent for" deserves an answer somebody outside our building can check. Two honest numbers about the same chip can differ; ours is the one whose inputs you can download.
what the contracts are, in plain terms · the basis: our number minus their settlement, daily from listing day
Daily, per chip
Each day is the median of that day's half-hour bins, UTC midnight to midnight — the same day boundary the sealed tape uses. feeds is the most providers seen in any bin that day: a price from two feeds and a price from eight are not the same claim.
| chip | date | median $/GPU-hr | low | feeds | bins |
|---|
The method, in full
Per 30-minute bin, per chip: take each provider's median listed price, then the median across providers — one provider listing four hundred cards cannot outvote a provider listing one. The day's price is the median of that day's bins.
Form factors are never blended. H100 SXM, PCIe and NVL are different products at different prices, so they are different series. Where a provider states only “H100” with no form factor, it lands in its own series and is kept out of the headline rather than guessed into one of the others.
On-demand is the headline — firm listed prices. Interruptible is published beside it in the CSV and never merged into it.
Methodology v1, frozen. Any change is an announced version bump.
Check it yourself
Every number here comes from the same rows that are sealed daily, hashed, and chained. Pull the day file, verify the tape against its sha256, and recompute the median — you never have to take our word for a figure you can rebuild.
