What happened
Thanking Michael Dell for citing its H100 Index, Silicon Data says H100 rental rates have jumped hard. Its latest estimate puts the residual value of a connected, income-generating H100 at about 68% of its original sale price. Why it matters: Rising rents and strong resale value suggest older Nvidia GPUs are still...
Why it matters
Operators that rent out or hold H100 capacity may see older hardware keep earning income and holding value. Buyers and investors weighing GPU purchases could treat these rental and resale figures as a reference point. The key thing to watch is whether the rental trend and index data hold up, since this comes from the company's own post and the full methodology is not included in the snippet.
