Nvidia Announces Over 15% Price Increase for AI Servers Amid Rising Chip Costs
Nvidia has informed some of its largest customers about a price increase of over 15% for servers containing its AI chips, effective early next year. The hikes, affecting systems with Vera Rubin and Grace Blackwell chips, are driven by soaring costs of memory chips like DRAM, produced mainly by Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron. Contract manufacturers serving major data center operators such as Microsoft, Google, and Oracle have notified clients of the increases. These rising component costs reflect strong demand for AI infrastructure and may impact data center expansion plans.
