B300 SXM posted the largest week-over-week median price increase among tracked SKUs, rising 6.2% from $7.96 to $8.45 per GPU-hour in the week ending October 4, 2026 — a move that widened the spread between Blackwell-generation hardware and legacy Ampere inventory. According to AIMC observations across 36 reporting marketplaces and 7,933 discrete price points, the B300 gain arrived while its Blackwell sibling, the B200 SXM, advanced a more modest 1.5% to $6.79, and the H100 SXM added 2.2% to $3.49. The divergence within and across GPU generations — with inference-oriented SKUs like the L40S and L4 both slipping marginally — represents the structural pattern most worth examining in this report. What follows is a segment-by-segment breakdown of pricing behavior across 119 distinct SKUs.

Marketplace Activity
This week's data spans 36 marketplaces with 7,933 total listing observations across 119 distinct GPU SKUs.
H100 pricing ranged from $1.00/hour at ionet to $10.00/hour at huggingface across 25 marketplaces.
B200 pricing ranged from $3.69/hour at deepinfra to $8.19/hour at togetherai across 15 marketplaces.
L40S pricing ranged from $0.81/hour at hydrahost to $2.48/hour at qubrid across 12 marketplaces.
A100 pricing ranged from $0.78/hour at synpixcloud to $3.34/hour at cirrascale across 19 marketplaces.
What This Means
The most striking pattern in this week's dataset is not where prices sit, but how wide they vary for the same hardware. AIMC's data shows that the L40S — a single SKU tracked across 12 marketplaces — carried median prices ranging from $0.81 to $2.48 per GPU-hour during the week of September 28 through October 4, a spread of more than 3x between the cheapest and most expensive observed listings. The H100 family tells a similar story, with prices spanning $1.00 to $10.00 across 25 marketplaces. Spreads of this magnitude, for identical or near-identical hardware, suggest these segments have not yet developed the price convergence typically associated with mature, liquid commodity markets. Where buyers and sellers have broad, transparent access to comparable alternatives, spreads tend to compress. Wide spreads may instead reflect fragmented discovery, differing contract structures, or regional supply concentrations — though with one week of data we cannot reliably distinguish which factor dominates.
By contrast, the week-over-week price movements themselves were comparatively contained. Ai Mining Co. tracked a +6.2% gain in B300 SXM median price (from $7.96 to $8.45), the largest single mover in this period, while most other SKUs shifted by less than 1%. The RTX A4000 moved from $0.29 to $0.30, a +3.0% change that is statistically notable but economically narrow in absolute terms. Whether the B300 SXM move reflects a genuine demand signal or listing noise across a thinner sample is something a single week's observation cannot resolve.
Our weekly observations indicate that pricing maturity appears uneven across the 119 SKUs and 36 marketplaces in this dataset — with high-end data center GPUs showing wide intra-SKU spreads that consumer-tier cards do not exhibit to the same degree. That asymmetry is worth monitoring as a structural feature of the current market, even if its causes remain ambiguous within this window.
