Nvidia AI Chips Pricing Highlights
The cost of renting Nvidia's leading artificial intelligence chips appears to be markedly lower in China compared to the United States. This trend indicates a significant shift in the landscape of AI technology access.
Cloud Services Comparison
- Four small-scale Chinese cloud providers charge roughly $6 an hour for a server with eight Nvidia A100 processors.
- US competitors offer the same setup for about $10 an hour.
This pricing disparity suggests a growing supply of Nvidia chips in China, potentially undermining US export restrictions aimed at limiting technological access.
