Value kindobserved — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range.
CaveatPrevious-generation parts; software-stack results change month to month. The article's Key Insights also names DeepSeek V3 (671B) as an H100 win, but its DeepSeek section did not test H100, so that part is not carried here.
