Summary

Linus finally got his hands (well, almost) on Nvidia’s jaw-dropping H200—a $30,000 generative AI and HPC powerhouse he didn’t even get officially sent. Naturally, he ripped it open for a full teardown, drooled over its PCB artistry, and tackled every angle “for science.”

After dissecting the beast, he squared it off against a dual Intel Epyc 9965 setup and an RTX 5090, running benchmarks that highlight just how far ahead the H200 is in heavy AI workloads. Spoiler: it’s a monster—if your budget can handle it.
