Nvidia is preparing to raise prices on servers equipped with its artificial intelligence chips by more than 15% for some of its largest customers, according to a Bloomberg News report. The price increases are expected to take effect on systems shipped in early 2027.
The hikes are driven by escalating costs for memory chips, a critical component in AI hardware. The report, citing sources familiar with the matter, indicates that the price adjustments will impact systems featuring Nvidia's high-end chips, including the Vera Rubin and Grace Blackwell models.
The exact extent of the price increases will depend on the specific chip generation and the memory configurations used in each system. Nvidia has not yet officially commented on the report, and Reuters could not immediately verify the information.
