Those wanting to go through dozens more benchmarks of these three Linux workstations can find all of my raw data via this OB result page.

So while there was a lot of NVIDIA GH200 vs. AMD EPYC vs. Intel Xeon benchmarks looking at the CPU performance earlier this month, those weighing the NVIDIA GH200 use for Linux workstation uses will hopefully find today's performance results against AMD Ryzen Threadripper useful. For HPC workloads that are AArch64-tuned and can leverage the available system memory effectively, the GH200 could deliver great performance against these Zen 4 Threadripper workstations. But for software extensively tuned for x86_64 and/or not as heavily dependent upon system memory bandwidth, the Threadripper 7980X and Threadripper PRO 7995WX are excellent workstation options.

Thanks to GPTshop.ai, HP, and System76 for making this Linux workstation benchmarking bout possible.
