Loading benchmark data
Monthly cloud rental list-price benchmarks, latest data Aug 2026. Linux, on-demand, no spot, no reservations, no savings plans.
Feb 2024: Google Cloud enters the benchmark. A step here is a change in what is being measured, not a price move.
Aug 2026: Azure enters the benchmark. A step here is a change in what is being measured, not a price move.
Azure publishes no price history, so its series begins in Aug 2026, when GPUQuant recorded its first snapshot. It cannot be backfilled.
Prices are Linux on-demand list prices for the H100 80GB SXM5, eight-GPU node, normalized to one GPU-hour. How the benchmark works
Newest month GPUQuant holds. Each provider figure is the median of its own regional prices, so a provider that publishes more regions does not count for more.
