Nvidia’s new H200 is a ludicrously powerful generative AI/HPC card that clocks in at a $30K price tag. Linus snagged one anyway, tore it down for a full internal tour, then strapped it into rigs for head-to-head battles against a dual AMD Epyc 9965 server setup and the consumer-grade RTX 5090.
Unsurprisingly, the H200 stomps the RTX and even gives a full CPU duo a run for their money in certain workloads—justifying that stratospheric cost for hardcore pros, while leaving everyone else wondering if it’s ever worth the sticker shock. Complete teardown, benchmark deep-dives, and classic Linus banter included.
