Nvidia Customers Face 15%+ Price Hikes on AI Chip Servers

Nvidia's customers have been warned about significant price hikes on AI-related chips, according to a report by Bloomberg News. The prices of servers containing Nvidia's AI chips will rise by more than 15% in many cases due to soaring memory chip costs.

The price increases will take effect for systems shipped early next year and will impact systems with the flagship Vera Rubin and Grace Blackwell chips, which are used in data center infrastructure. The exact increase will depend on Nvidia's chip generation and memory configurations, according to people familiar with the process.

The price hikes will affect companies that build servers under contract for large data center operators such as Microsoft, Alphabet Inc.'s Google, and Oracle. These customers have recently been informed of the upcoming increases, which may impact their business operations in the new year.
