Two Nvidia data center GPUs, one Ampere and one Grace Hopper: 24 GB HBM2 against 96 GB HBM3, 4.3x the memory bandwidth on the GH200, and NVLink 900 GB/s on the GH200 where the A30 is PCIe only.

Price comparison
Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.
| Billing | A30 | GH200 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand | -- /GPU/hr from $0.70 | $2.52 /GPU/hr from $2.29 | |
| Reserved | -- /GPU/hr from $0.43 (1 mo) | No reserved listings | |
| Spot | No spot listings | Sold out |
Heads up: A provider's own page may quote a different figure, for example on tax, region or a promotion. A monthly-only plan shows a derived hourly rate. Medians are across providers, one vote each, so a large catalog does not outweigh a small one. No median for on-demand and reserved on the A30: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning. More on how we price.
