Black Market Prices for B300 Servers Remain Firm
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-07-15

The author's core message is that AI is becoming a 'money printer', pushing GPUs and compute into an extremely tight pricing environment. Replies suggest the actual price could be 2–4 times the base GPU cost, further highlighting the massive premium on this hardware.
