Other variants (not compared)

These eligible rows are the only in-stock vendor for their exact variant (form factor and memory), so they are listed but not ranked; variants are never mixed:

What's not included

Storage, egress, vCPU/RAM add-ons, region and tax. Availability is a manual snapshot: rows marked out of stock when checked are listed last and left out of lowest, median and cheapest; other rows are not an availability claim. Multi-GPU and 8-GPU-only offers are left out: multi-GPU quotes need whole-instance pricing, coming later. Spot, community, marketplace, serverless, reserved and held or thin prices are never shown here.
