Systems built on Vera Rubin and Grace Blackwell chips are affected, with increases varying by chip generation and memory configuration. The notices came via server-assembly middlemen serving Microsoft, Google and Oracle, not directly from Nvidia. Consumer hardware has already seen price hikes from Apple, Qualcomm, AMD and Nvidia's gaming cards, while AWS raised GPU prices 20%. The increases threaten budgets for EU-funded AI gigafactories planned on older pricing assumptions. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Why are Nvidia AI server prices increasing next year? Nvidia's biggest customers have been notified that servers containing its AI chips will cost more than 15% extra starting from early next year, driven by rising memory prices. Systems built around Vera Rubin and Grace Blackwell chips are affected, with the exact increase depending on chip generation and memory configuration. The notifications came through contract server assemblers working with Microsoft, Google and Oracle, not directly from Nvidia. _Teams budgeting for AI infrastructure can track hardware cost shifts like this one on daily.dev._ ### Who controls the DRAM supply causing the AI hardware memory shortage? Samsung, SK hynix and Micron produce most of the world's DRAM supply, and while their output is rising, it has not caught up with demand from AI infrastructure buildouts. This supply-demand gap is the root cause behind the more-than-15% price increases on Nvidia AI servers shipping from early next year, and has already pushed AWS to raise GPU prices by 20%. _Anyone weighing cloud GPU costs against memory market shifts can follow this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Memory loss: As AI gobbles up chips, prices for devices may rise](https://daily.dev/posts/memory-loss-as-ai-gobbles-up-chips-prices-for-devices-may-rise-v9jemlfkl) · Hacker News · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [How a surge in memory prices will affect the game industry](https://daily.dev/posts/how-a-surge-in-memory-prices-will-affect-the-game-industry-wmkm519gf) · Game Developer · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AWS GPU prices jump 20% as memory crunch bites](https://daily.dev/posts/aws-gpu-prices-jump-20-as-memory-crunch-bites-jdminsus0) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [OVHcloud Raises Prices as AI Memory Demand Reprices Non-AI Infrastructure](https://daily.dev/posts/ovhcloud-raises-prices-as-ai-memory-demand-reprices-non-ai-infrastructure-5apiqjaxy) · InfoQ · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#cloud](https://daily.dev/tags/cloud), [#nvidia](https://daily.dev/tags/nvidia), [#gpu](https://daily.dev/tags/gpu), [#ai-infrastructure](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-infrastructure) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-ai-server-prices-are-rising-more-than-15-from-early-next-year-neq18uhts) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Nvidia AI server prices are rising more than 15% from early next year","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-ai-server-prices-are-rising-more-than-15-from-early-next-year-neq18uhts","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-ai-server-prices-are-rising-more-than-15-from-early-next-year-neq18uhts"},"datePublished":"2026-08-22T21:36:09.992Z","dateModified":"2026-09-13T20:59:24.246Z","description":"Nvidia has told its largest customers that AI server prices will rise more than 15% starting early next year, driven by a global memory shortage affecting DRAM...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/ceb4fd86b213349d79833046dd443b33?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/ceb4fd86b213349d79833046dd443b33?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Next Web","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Next Web","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tnw","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-ai-server-prices-are-rising-more-than-15-from-early-next-year-neq18uhts","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"cloud,nvidia,gpu,ai-infrastructure","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Next Web","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Nvidia AI server prices are rising more than 15% from early next year"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/nvidia-ai-server-prices-are-rising-more-than-15-from-early-next-year-neq18uhts#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Why are Nvidia AI server prices increasing next year?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Nvidia's biggest customers have been notified that servers containing its AI chips will cost more than 15% extra starting from early next year, driven by rising memory prices.
