Using May 2025 software, GB200 NVL72 had 9% worse DeepSeek 670B MoE training perf per TCO than H100. Using July 2025 software, GB200 NVL72 massively improved and now has an 1.52x better perf per TCO than h100. Performance projections sugges
Why it spread
It spread because an independent author with a big source reach posted a striking performance turnaround, from 9% worse to 1.52x better and a projected 2.8x, which drew 460 likes, 56 reposts, 14 quotes, 162 saves and 118,361 views.
What worked
- The post frames a clear before and after using May 2025 software at 9% worse and July 2025 software at 1.52x better, which makes the improvement easy to grasp.
- It comes from an independent author with a big source reach, so the audience already trusts the account to publish credible AI infrastructure numbers.
- It adds a forward looking projection for December 2025 software at 2.8, which gives readers a reason to save and share the post beyond the current result.
What to borrow
We could take one of our own charts and frame it as a dated before and after, showing an earlier weaker result and a later stronger result, then add a clearly labeled projection for a future period.
Careful
Do not copy the projection as if it were a measured result, and do not over-read the engagement as proof that the chart design or the underlying data was independently verified.
