Google Cloud — GPU pricing & deliverability
4 tracked offerings · grade mix A:0 · B:0 · C:4 · D:0 · U:0. Google publishes per-VM network bandwidth in the accelerator-optimized machines doc: a3-highgpu-8g 1,000 Gbps (5 NICs, gVNIC/GPUDirect-TCPX), a3-megagpu-8g 1,800 Gbps (9 NICs, GPUDirect-TCPXO), a3-ultragpu-8g 3,600 Gbps (10 NICs, RoCE CX-7), a4-highgpu-8g 3,600 Gbps (10 NICs, RoCE CX-7, four-way rail-aligned network), a4x-highgpu-4g 2,000 Gbps (6 NICs, RoCE CX-7) and A4X Max (GB300) up to 3,200 Gbps via CX-8 SuperNICs with eight-way rail-alignment. No numeric max-cluster GPU count published on the fetched pages.
Tracked offerings

What Google Cloud does not publish
- On-demand prices for a3-ultragpu-8g (H200) and a4-highgpu-8g (B200) — Google's docs state these have no on-demand consumption option (Spot/Flex-start/reservations only)
- Official Google pricing-page dollar figures — cloud.google.com pricing pages are client-side rendered and returned no prices to fetch; a3-high/a3-mega prices are from the gcloud-compute.com Billing-data mirror (secondary)
- Maximum contiguous GPU cluster scale per machine series (not stated on fetched pages)
Unpublished fields are recorded as unknown and grade conservatively. Sellers improve their grades by disclosing — that is the point.
