GPU Pricing in North America
About the North America GPU Market
North America dominates the global cloud GPU market, accounting for the majority of deployed AI compute capacity. The region benefits from extensive data centre infrastructure across the US and Canada, with major availability zones on both coasts and in central regions.
GPU pricing in North America is generally the most competitive globally, driven by high supply and intense provider competition. The US East and US West regions typically offer the lowest prices, while central regions can carry a modest premium due to lower data centre density.
The region is the primary deployment location for frontier AI model training, with the highest concentration of H100, H200, and Blackwell-generation GPUs. Spot pricing availability is also the deepest here, offering significant discounts for flexible workloads.
Canada and Mexico are growing as secondary markets, often offering competitive pricing with the benefit of data residency for organisations with North American compliance requirements.
