I. GPU Model Price Change Ranking for 2026/10 (pay-as-you-go median hourly rate, MoM baseline)
Baseline covers 2026-09-28–2026-09-30, a total of 3 snapshot days (daily snapshots available only from 2026-09-28 onward; the first baseline period is shorter and fully disclosed); report period covers 2026-10-01–2026-10-31, a total of 31 snapshot days. A GPU model must have at least 4 quoted prices to be included in comparison.
Top Gainers
| GPU model | Baseline median | Median for 2026/10 | Month-on-Month Change | Number of platforms selling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A100 80GB | ¥8.39 | ¥10.74 | +28.0% | 15 |
| A6000 48GB | ¥2.53 | ¥2.85 | +12.9% | 7 |
| RTX 5090 | ¥2.68 | ¥2.99 | +11.6% | 11 |
| A800 80GB | ¥6.40 | ¥6.80 | +6.2% | 5 |
Top decliners
No GPU model dropped more than 3% this period (all comparable models meeting the sample threshold remained flat or rose).
II. GHPI Price Index: Trend for 2026 Year 10 Month
| Methodology | Start of month | End of month | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overall domestic median | ¥5.15/hour | ¥5.15/hour | +0.0% |
(2026-10-01 → 2026-10-31, pay-as-you-go median price; 31 snapshot days within the month) Public list prices exhibit stickiness — platforms rarely adjust daily; prolonged index stability reflects genuine ‘no price change’, not unchanged transaction prices.

III. Domestic vs. international price gap (current observation)
The table below shows the current observed values at the time of publication: median hourly rental price for the same GPU model on domestic platforms vs. overseas platforms (only fresh pay-as-you-go quotes within the last 48 hours, with at least 2 platforms on each side). Price gaps are dynamic; real-time figures are available at Cross-Border Price Gap Dashboard.
| GPU model | Domestic median | Overseas median | Price spread |
|---|---|---|---|
| L40S 48GB | ¥5.03 | ¥10.36 | Domestic prices are 51% cheaper |
| RTX PRO 6000 96GB | ¥10.90 | ¥14.54 | Domestic prices are 25% cheaper |
| A100 80GB | ¥11.07 | ¥10.61 | International prices are 4% cheaper |
IV. Dedicated chapter: Domestic AI accelerators
Domestic GPUs—including Ascend, Hygon, and Kunlunxin—are excluded from overseas price-comparison sites and represent rentgpu.link’s deepest time-series asset. Current availability:
| GPU model | Median hourly rental price | Current Lowest Price | Number of platforms selling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ascend 910B2 64GB | ¥3.58/hour | Extreme Intelligence Compute ¥2.97 | 2 |
| Ascend 910C 128GB | ¥13.20/hour | Shared compute ¥13.20 | 1 |
| Hygon BW1000 64GB | ¥7.00/hour | Shared compute ¥7.00 | 1 |
| Kunlunxin P800 96GB | ¥8.50/hour | Shared compute ¥8.50 | 1 |
V. Methodology and How to Use This Report
- “Median price” = median of all current pay-as-you-go quotes for that GPU model—designed to avoid distortion by outlier low prices; spot/preemptible and monthly rates are excluded.
- The price change leaderboard only compares GPU models that have sufficient samples in both the baseline and reporting periods (≥4 entries vs ≥2 entries); models with insufficient samples are excluded from calculation.
- Price gaps reflect observed values at time of publication and do not constitute procurement advice; always verify final pricing and availability on each platform’s official checkout page before placing an order.
- This report is auto-generated by data pipelines with no human intervention on figures; rankings and inclusions are unaffected by commercial partnerships.
