Crisis to Worsen in 2027, Nvidia Has Already Issued a Warning

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - AI chip prices are likely to continue rising until next year. Nvidia has reportedly informed its customers about the increase.

The price increase is due to supply shortages that have been occurring since late last year. The rapid development of AI is cited as the reason for the shortage.

A Bloomberg News report states that Nvidia has announced a price increase of more than 15% for servers containing AI chips.

This policy applies to systems delivered in early 2027. Affected systems include those using the Vera Rubin and Grace Blackwell chips, as reported by Reuters on Monday (24/8/2026).

Several sources cited in the Bloomberg News report revealed that the price increase depends on the generation of Nvidia chips and the memory configuration of each.

Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Several companies are known to build servers for large data centre operators, including Microsoft, Alphabet, and Oracle. All of these tech giants have reportedly informed consumers about the planned price increase.

This increase comes as Nvidia’s success in the AI industry begins to fade. In July, the company’s share price was reported to have fallen 15% from its peak in May.

Chip rental prices are also reported to have continued to decline after reaching US$3.20 per hour in May.
