Today's Compute College lesson
NVIDIA H100 Price Per Hour Explained
H100 price per hour is the hourly cost of accessing one NVIDIA H100 GPU for an AI workload.
Why it matters today: Today's lesson connects the GPU Pricing & Capacity track to the compute market readers are watching.
Read the lessonLearn the Market
Term of the Day: Gigawatt
A gigawatt is one thousand megawatts. When AI infrastructure projects are described in gigawatts, they are operating at an industrial scale closer to major power plants or regional grid planning than a normal enterprise server room. Gigawatt-scale AI campuses require long-term power, land, transmission, and cooling plans.
