How we count
Every rate is for one GPU for one hour, so a node of eight sits beside a single card at a comparable number, with the whole machine's hourly price in the row.
The L40's 48 GB of memory and its bandwidth are the maker's own figures, the same whoever rents it out. A provider's feed is trusted for its prices and its GPU counts, never for what the board is.
- Marketplace
- The provider matches you with someone else's machine.

- The provider owns or leases the machines.

- Why do L40 prices differ so much?
- The spread here runs from $0.69/GPU-hr to $1.25/GPU-hr for the same silicon, because what else comes with it differs: the vCPU and RAM around the GPU, whether a disk is included, how many regions it runs in, and whether the machine belongs to the provider or to someone else on a marketplace. Each row's tag says whose it is.
