We are happy to announce a partnership with Silicon Data, a leading provider of compute infrastructure analytics, to expand their GPU performance index suite on Refinitiv, one of the world’s largest financial data platforms. Both the flagship H100 Index and the newly launched A100 Index are accessible to Refinitiv users, delivering a new level of transparency into the economics of AI compute.
These indexes give institutional investors, infrastructure consumers, and policymakers an unprecedented view into the cost of NVIDIA’s H100 and A100 GPUs across global markets. Each index is built on Silicon Data’s proprietary benchmarking framework, which captures comprehensive, standardized transactional data across hyperscalers, on‑premise clusters, and multi‑region deployments.
“As AI adoption accelerates, the cost and availability of compute have become critical macroeconomic signals,” said Carmen Li, founder and CEO of Silicon Data. “Our indexes offer a transparent, dynamic lens into GPU performance and supply–demand dynamics. Bringing them to Refinitiv — with integration support from our market data and index management partner dxFeed — is a major step in democratizing access to this intelligence.”
“By partnering with Silicon Data, we’re helping bring GPU pricing and performance data to the same level of accessibility as traditional financial benchmarks. Added Bruce Traan, Global Head of Indices at dxFeed. “Integrating these indexes into Refinitiv ensures that investors, enterprises, and policymakers have the tools they need to make more informed decisions in this new era of digital infrastructure.”
The H100 Index, in active use by enterprise clients since Q1 2025, tracks single‑node and multi‑node performance across major cloud providers, highlighting deviations and saturation events. The newly introduced A100 Index extends coverage to legacy infrastructure that continues to power a significant share of production AI workloads. Both indexes are updated daily, and built for seamless integration into procurement strategies, pricing models, and risk management workflows.
Key Features:
- Daily, chip‑agnostic visibility: Both indexes refresh daily, standardized data across hyperscalers, colocation facilities, and on‑premise deployments to surface supply–demand imbalances.
- Seamless integration: Users can access the indexes directly through Refinitiv terminals by ticker, or programmatically via Silicon Data’s dashboard and API suite, enabling incorporation into procurement models, pricing strategies, and risk management workflows.
