Nvidia’s H200 GPU teardown and benchmarks
Linus got his hands on Nvidia’s $30K-plus H200 “graphics” card, ripped it open for a full teardown and put it head-to-head against a dual-EPYC 9965 server build and the top-end RTX 5090. Spoiler: the H200’s massive HBM memory and AI-focused architecture absolutely crush traditional compute and consumer GPU performance—but it’ll cost you big time.
Key takeaways
- The H200 shines in generative AI and high-performance computing workloads, leaving dual-EPYC and RTX 5090 rigs in the dust.
- Its teardown reveals some seriously impressive plumbing for power delivery and cooling—though it’s pretty much overkill for gaming.
- If you need raw AI throughput and have an unlimited budget, the H200 is a beast; for everyone else, more affordable options still reign supreme.
