NVIDIA’s B200 GPUs retain value 58 percent above launch price

NVIDIA’s B200 GPUs currently have a residual value equal to 158 percent of their original launch price, according to figures from Silicon Data cited by Wccftech.

The figures apply roughly 1 year after the GPUs reached mass availability. That means their residual value is 58 percent above the original launch price.

Residual prices for NVIDIA GPUs have increasingly been used as an informal measure of the strength of the current AI cycle, which has been driven in part by large language model development.

The figures come as some AI industry leaders have called for a slower pace in model development. The source specifically names Anthropic’s Dario Amodei and OpenAI’s Sam Altman. The available figures indicate strong demand for NVIDIA’s B200 GPUs, but they do not establish the reasons behind that demand.
