TL;DR

Linus finally got his hands on Nvidia’s H200—a monstrous $30,000 generative AI and HPC GPU—and immediately tore it down just for fun (and science). After poking around inside, he slapped it into a test bench to see how it stacks up in real-world grunt work.

Benchmarks pit the H200 against a dual EPYC 9965 server setup and the flagship RTX 5090. Spoiler: the H200 absolutely vaporizes the consumer card in AI tasks and outpaces the CPUs by a country mile—but you’ll need a second mortgage to pay for it.
