Looking around a bit the price was ~70k$USD _in China_ around the time they where released in 2023, cheaper bulk sells where a thing, too.

Note that this are the China prices with high markup due to export controls etc.

The price of a H800 80GiB in the US is today more like ~32k$USD .

But for using H800 clusters well you also need as fast as possible interconnects, enough motherboards, enough fast storage, cooling, building, interruption free power etc. So the cost of building a "H800" focused Datacenter is much much higher then multiplying GPU cost by number.

Still $400m seem unlikely.
