Competing GPU compute indexes diverge wildly as power futures emerge

As compute futures begin settling against GPU indexes, the industry still lacks a standard way to value inference GPUs: competing H100 rental indexes diverged by as much as 2.5x in early September, while benchmarks like Silicon Data's SiliconMark underpin the emerging compute commodity market.
