Each point is the daily cross-provider median for this SKU and pricing type (per-provider medians first, so no marketplace’s volume dominates). Gaps are gaps — we don’t interpolate missing data.

The spread: the same NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell ranges from $1.73 to $3.85 per hour across tracked providers right now — a 2.2× difference. This is why we exist.

Anatomy: why it costs this

Everything that has to exist before one RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell-hour can be rented — then the arithmetic on the parts that can be priced honestly.

Power basis: vendor GPU TDP only — full-server draw runs meaningfully higher × PUE 1.54 × 8.71¢/kWh (0.92 kWh from the grid). Water bounded at 1.8 L/kWh and $5/m³ — deliberately high. The residual is hardware amortization, facility, staff, and margin — presented as a residual because vendors don’t publish server street prices, and we don’t print numbers we can’t stand behind.
