Why The GPU exists

The neocloud market is enormous and growing fast, but it's hard to follow. Company news is scattered across press releases and LinkedIn. Pricing is buried in provider dashboards. The big picture — who's building what, who's funding it, and where the compute is actually going — is difficult to piece together.

The GPU covers the neocloud ecosystem. We publish weekly analysis, deep-dive company profiles, and maintain a directory of 2,633+ companies across the accelerated compute landscape. The platform includes live GPU pricing from 37+ providers, institutional-grade financial models for cluster economics, carbon intensity data across 30+ countries, SEC filings tracking, semiconductor trade flows, and hardware procurement intelligence.

The name comes from the unit of compute the entire ecosystem revolves around. Every company in the directory — GPU manufacturers, neoclouds, data centre operators, cooling vendors, power providers, networking firms — exists because of demand for GPU compute. The GPU is the common thread.

How people use the platform

Six audiences, six different workflows. Each one shows how people actually move through the platform based on what they need. Not a fixed tour of every feature.

A neocloud just secured $1.2B of asset-backed debt to deploy B300s across multiple markets. What could returns look like for a 70/30 contracted/on-demand blend at $5.50/GPU/h with 20% annual price erosion?

1

Model the economics first. Load a scenario, configure the cluster power and pricing, and set the debt structure. See projected IRR, MOIC, and DSCR across 15 integrity checks. Export the institutional-grade Excel model for your deal team.

2

Check the market rate. Pull current GPU pricing across on-demand, reserved, and spot. Track the erosion curve to validate the $2.50/h assumption against live data.
