## Summary

Artificial Analysis is adding market-based GPU rental pricing from Silicon Data to its AA-AgentPerf datacenter benchmark. The new metric, Throughput per $/hr, divides a system's total throughput by its hourly rental cost. The post says Nvidia's B300 generally leads among systems with rental pricing, with the B200 matching it at faster output speeds on some models. The chart's MI355X rental rate is assumed by Artificial Analysis from recent market quotes.

Our users and partners want to know how much agent work they can support per dollar of compute. @silicondata's rental price indices allow us to report a reliable value-for-money metric, updated daily as prices change. We currently display Silicon Data indices for H100, H200, B200 and B300, tracked across cloud providers

The new metric is Throughput per $/hr, which divides the total throughput of a system and serving configuration by the hourly cost of renting that system. Among systems with available rental pricing, NVIDIA’s B300 generally leads, while B200 matches it at faster output speeds on some models

Note: the below chart includes an MI355X rental rate that has been assumed by Artificial Analysis based on recent market quotes
