The A100 SXM 80GB recorded a 7.0% week-over-week increase in median hourly rate, moving from $1.86 to $1.99, according to Ai Mining Co. observations across active GPU rental marketplaces. That single-SKU move is the focus of this report. Rather than treating the A100 SXM 80GB as a monolithic price point, the analysis breaks the figure down by individual marketplace, surfacing where the hardware is currently listed, at what rate, and how wide the spread runs between the lowest and highest available bids. Observed listings this week span a range meaningful enough to warrant scrutiny from operators making sourcing decisions. The per-marketplace tables below present those figures directly.

Spread Analysis
Across the 12 marketplaces carrying A100 SXM 80GB this week, the observed median ranged from $1.39/hr at ionet to $3.34/hr at cirrascale — a 2.4x 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 SXM 80GB this week totaled 231 listings across 12 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 SXM 80GB is clearing.
What This Means
Ai Mining Co. tracked the A100 SXM 80GB across 12 active marketplace listings this week, recording a median price movement of positive 7.0% week-over-week. That figure alone warrants attention, but it is the dispersion beneath that headline number that carries the most analytical weight. AIMC's data shows the per-hour median ranging from $1.39 on io.net to $3.34 on Cirrascale, a spread of roughly 2.4 times between the lowest and highest observed midpoints. A range of that width, sustained across a dozen discrete marketplaces simultaneously, suggests the A100 SXM 80GB is not being priced as a commodity with a single clearing rate. Instead, what we observe is a market where the same hardware identifier resolves to materially different price points depending on where a buyer encounters it, which is consistent with — though not proven to be caused by — differences in commitment structures, bundled support tiers, geographic supply constraints, or provider-specific inventory positions. The data describes this spread; it does not explain it.
Looking at the distribution more closely, the lower end of the range, anchored by io.net at $1.39, sits in territory associated with platforms that aggregate spot or on-demand capacity from distributed contributors, where pricing pressure tends to be more competitive by design. The upper end, represented by Cirrascale at $3.34, reflects an entirely different market posture — one where managed infrastructure, enterprise-grade availability guarantees, or dedicated cluster access may be bundled into the rate, though we observe the price only and cannot confirm what is included from pricing data alone. The marketplaces between these poles, including the remaining ten tracked this week, do not cluster tightly around a single midpoint, which further reinforces that the A100 SXM 80GB pricing environment across platforms is fragmented rather than converging.
One week of data is a snapshot, not a trend. The 7.0% median move and the 2.4x cross-platform spread describe conditions as observed during this specific reporting period, and either figure could look different in subsequent weeks as supply allocations shift, new providers enter tracked marketplaces, or existing providers reprice inventory. What this week's data does establish clearly is that anyone evaluating A100 SXM 80GB availability cannot treat any single marketplace price as representative of the broader market — the variance is too wide and the platform differences too structurally distinct for that assumption to hold under the numbers AIMC recorded.
