Why the PCIe costs what it does
Against the other priced NVIDIA A100 variants: the price floor, what a GB-hour and a PFLOP-hour cost, and the specs that explain the gap.
The PCIe rents from $0.45 per GPU-hour, 16% less than the SXM4 at $0.54. Only 1 listing tracks the PCIe, too few to call that gap a market price.
The SXM4 is an SXM module, rated at 400 W against 250 W for the PCIe card. Hosting a module with that power and interconnect budget costs more than hosting a card, and the hourly rate carries it.
9 providers list the SXM4 against 1 for the PCIe.
Floors are the cheapest live listing of any pricing type; medians are of each provider's cheapest on-demand rate. Per GB-hour divides the floor by memory, per PFLOP-hour by dense throughput on the family's basis.
