Is there a reliable service that plots hourly price per GPU per cloud through time?




I’ve been working on computeprices.com as a side project for the last year to do just that.

Is there a graph view that charts all GPU prices on one graph?

If not I think the landing page should be just that with checkbox filters for all GPUs on the left that you can easily toggle all on/off to show/hide their line on the graph.


I was not expecting that the prices are going down. Makes sense as the hardware gets older but I always assumed the prices must be inflated given how much competition there is to make new datacenters

Yes i was surprised too. I think it's mostly newer models pushing older ones down. I think there's also a lot of competitive pressure in this market. And the GPU shortage is not really a thing anymore.

This is cool!

Would it be possible to add "Best Value" / "best average performance per dollar" type thing?


Good idea! I'll noodle on how to define that.

Not sure, but historically, AWS as far as I know has never raised prices on specific instance type usage like this. It makes sense that this would be the first attempt since it’s for apparently guaranteed capacity (vs the normal model of “if we’re out of capacity, too bad for you”).

That said, the real disturbing part of this is not so much the raising of the price for an extremely high-demand resource, but the utter lack of communication about it.


they have been doing that for awhile now (last few (2-3) years) for ebs (gp3) and ec2 (gen 8) instances.
