NVIDIA's Blackwell GPUs are going to be the fastest AI chips the world has ever seen when they become available and also the most expensive yet.
NVIDIA's Blackwell products which include GPUs, Superchip platforms, and servers are desired by every big tech firm who are into the AI hype, and it's no surprise that this particular architecture will generate revenue much larger than that of the Hopper lineup.
We now have an estimate that has disclosed the expected pricing for the upcoming components. According to analysts from HSBC, NVIDIA's Blackwell AI server racks will cost a hefty price this time, exceeding the $3 million mark. The price tags on AI accelerators, such as the B100 GPUs, are also premium.
The news comes from a senior writer from Barron's @firstadopter, who cites the analysis from HSBC on NVIDIA's Blackwell products. Starting with AI servers, a single unit of NVIDIA GB200 NVL36 server rack is expected to go for $1.8 million, while the more superior NVL72 counterpart would see a whopping $3 million price tag. This particular amount was also revealed in our previous coverage, so the actual figure might not be too far away.
Regarding individual AI accelerators, HSBC says that a single B100 AI GPU is expected to be sold for around $30,000 to $35,000, while the GB200 Superchips will cost around $60,000 to $70,000 each. These Superchips pack two GB100 GPUs and a single Grace Hopper chip accompanied by a large pool of system memory (HBM3E). These estimates are also in the same ballpark as the prices that were disclosed by Jensen himself.
Analysts' estimates may not consider real-time market conditions, volume purchasing, and many other factors. Hence, the actual figures might be either lower or even higher depending on the buyer type and the order's severity.
