Nvidia Customers Face AI Chip Price Hikes Over 15% in Many Cases
Nvidia's customers have been informed that prices of servers containing its artificial intelligence chips will rise by more than 15% in many cases, according to a report. The price hikes are set to take effect on systems shipped early next year and will impact systems with Nvidia's flagship Vera Rubin and Grace Blackwell chips.
The increases will depend on Nvidia's chip generation and memory configurations, citing people familiar with the process. Companies that build servers under contract for large data centre operators such as Microsoft, Alphabet's Google and Oracle have recently informed their customers of the upcoming increases.
Nvidia is set to report its second-quarter results on August 26 and has become a proxy for the broader AI ecosystem spanning chipmakers and companies financing the rapid expansion of data centre capacity.
