Nvidia's Jensen Huang says Blackwell GPU to cost $30,000 - $40,000, later clarifies that pricing will vary as they won't sell just the chip

Nvidia.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in an interview with CNBC that Nvidia plans to sell its Blackwell GPU for AI and HPC workloads for $30,000 to $40,000. However, that is an approximate price since Nvidia is more inclined to sell the whole stack of datacenter building blocks, not just an accelerator itself. Meanwhile, a Raymond James analyst believes it costs around $6,000 to build one B200 accelerator (via @firstadopter).

The performance of Nvidia's Blackwell-based B200 accelerator with 192 GB of HBM3E memory certainly impresses, but those numbers are enabled by a dual-chipset design that packs as many as 204 billion transistors in total (104 billion per die). Nvidia's dual-die GB200 solution with 192 GB of HBM3E will cost significantly more than a single-die GH100 processor with 80GB of memory. The Raymond James analyst estimates that each H100 costs around $3,100, whereas each B200 should cost around $6,000, according to the market observer.
