Ornn's rental market data shows the five-year A100 contract price holds 80% of its one-month rate, compared to 44–60% retention for newer Hopper and Blackwell families. This economic durability reflects continued demand from compute-intensive, latency-tolerant workloads like long-running agents and reinforcement learning.
“These findings challenge forecasts that newer hardware eliminates the earning capacity of older GPUs. Instead, they suggest that older NVIDIA generations retain a multi-year earning life so long as they serve suitable workloads competitively.”
