Artificial Analysis Integrates Real-Time GPU Pricing into Agent Benchmarks
Artificial Analysis has partnered with Silicon Data to integrate market-based GPU rental pricing into its AA-AgentPerf benchmark. The new 'Throughput per $/hr' metric dynamically reflects cost-efficiency across cloud providers for chips like H100 and B200, with NVIDIA's B300 currently leading in value.

We are collaborating with Silicon Data to bring market-based GPU pricing into AA-AgentPerf, our datacenter system performance benchmark
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
