TL;DR Linus finally got his hands on Nvidia’s $30K H200 AI/HPC GPU after Nvidia “forgot” to send him one. He rips it open for a teardown, dives into the hardware secrets, and then pits it against a dual-EPYC 9965 server rig and an RTX 5090 to see if it really lives up to the hype.
Benchmarks show the H200 dominating big AI workloads but only makes sense if you’re running massive models—otherwise that price tag is hard to swallow. In the end, it’s an impressive beast for data centers, but hobbyists and gamers will still stick with beefy CPUs or consumer GPUs.
