Nvidia H200 Holy $H!T Summary

Linus somehow snagged Nvidia’s H200—a $30,000 generative AI/HPC card that Nvidia wouldn’t send him—so he ripped it open, drooled over the silicon, and marveled at the beast’s raw specs. It’s marketed as the next-level “graphics” card for AI workloads, but lives in a world of its own when you look at the price tag.

After the teardown, he lines up the H200 against a dual AMD Epyc 9965 server and the upcoming RTX 5090, then cranks out benchmarks to see if that price makes even a shred of sense. Spoiler:This thing demolishes CPUs and still scares the pants off conventional GPUs—but at a cost that’ll make your wallet weep.
