KI-Server: Nvidia plant offenbar deutliche Preiserhöhung

The cost of AI infrastructure continues to rise. According to Bloomberg, Nvidia, the US chip giant, has reportedly informed its customers that prices for servers equipped with the company's high-performance chips will increase by more than 15 percent in many cases starting early next year. The report cites insiders.

Systems featuring Nvidia's latest chip generations Vera Rubin and Grace Blackwell are among the affected. The extent of the price increase varies, depending on the specific chip generation and the amount of memory included. The servers are manufactured by contract manufacturers for major computer center operators. Major customers include Microsoft, Google, and Oracle, which were recently informed about the impending price hikes. Nvidia declined to comment on the matter.

This move underscores the significant influence of memory chip manufacturers on the entire technology industry. Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology lead the global market for dynamic memory chips, or DRAM. These components are crucial for the performance of computers that train and execute artificial intelligence applications.
