The A100 PCIe 80GB posted a marginal week-over-week increase of 0.3%, with the observed median spot rate edging from $3.13 to $3.14 per GPU-hour, according to AIMC observations. While the headline move is narrow, the figure masks meaningful dispersion across individual marketplace listings, where quoted rates span a range that institutional buyers and operators will want to map precisely before committing capacity. This report examines current A100 PCIe 80GB pricing at the marketplace level—identifying where rates sit, how far individual venues deviate from the median, and how the spread has shifted relative to last week's snapshot. The per-marketplace breakdown follows directly below.

Spread Analysis
Across the 8 marketplaces carrying A100 PCIe 80GB this week, the observed median ranged from $1.24/hr at dataoorts to $3.14/hr at ovhcloud — a 2.5x spread between the lowest and highest median. Intra-SKU spreads of this magnitude reflect differences in commitment terms, regional availability, and how aggressively each provider is positioning the same hardware, rather than differences in the silicon itself. AIMC reports each marketplace's observed median independently and does not blend them into a single figure that would mask this dispersion — the spread itself is part of what the market is telling you.
Observation depth for A100 PCIe 80GB this week totaled 335 listings across 8 marketplaces. Marketplaces with deeper listing counts contribute more stable medians; those represented by a single listing are shown for completeness but carry correspondingly less weight in interpreting where A100 PCIe 80GB is clearing.
What This Means
The A100 PCIe 80GB posted a modest +0.3% week-over-week shift in median pricing, a move so narrow that it describes effective stability rather than directional momentum. One week of data is a snapshot, not a trend, and that framing matters: what this single observation captures is the shape of the market at a particular moment, not evidence of where it is heading. What that shape reveals, however, is notable on its own terms. Ai Mining Co. tracked median ask prices across eight marketplaces this week and found a 2.5x spread between the lowest and highest observed rates, with dataoorts anchoring the low end at $1.24 and OVHcloud sitting at the high end at $3.14. Between those poles sat a range of providers including Vast.ai, RunPod, Lambda, CoreWeave, and others, each occupying distinct positions that together produce a pricing landscape far wider than the aggregate median alone would suggest.
AIMC's data shows that a 2.5x spread of this width across a single SKU is consistent with marketplaces serving meaningfully different use-case contexts, even when the underlying hardware is nominally identical. Providers at the lower end of the range may be operating under structural conditions that permit lower ask prices — such as higher inventory availability, less favorable geographic demand, or spot-style commitment terms — while providers at the upper end may be reflecting tighter regional supply, longer reservation windows, or positioning within ecosystems where the A100 PCIe 80GB is bundled into managed offerings that carry additional service overhead. The data does not allow us to assign definitive causes to individual marketplace positions, but the magnitude of the spread is itself an observable fact that warrants attention. A buyer encountering this SKU across these eight platforms would face a choice set where the ask price is not a reliable signal of a single market-clearing rate.
What the data collectively suggests is that the A100 PCIe 80GB does not behave as a commodity with price convergence across channels. The near-flat week-over-week median obscures real structural heterogeneity underneath it: eight marketplaces, one SKU, and a $1.90 absolute gap between the cheapest and most expensive observed median. Whether that dispersion compresses or persists over subsequent weeks is a question this dataset cannot answer. What this week's observation does confirm is that marketplace selection for this specific GPU carries material pricing consequences that aggregate benchmarks alone will not surface.
