Nvidia AI server prices are rising more than 15% from early next year

Nvidia told its largest customers that AI server prices will rise over 15% on shipments beginning early next year, with increases differing by chip generation and memory configuration of Vera Rubin and Grace Blackwell systems. The hikes result from a DRAM shortage and are being passed through contract manufacturers to operators such as Microsoft, Google and Oracle, impacting European AI-gigafactory projects budgeted on last year’s hardware costs.
