Convergent reasoning.

Running Linpack on that Eagle-twin could have boosted Nvidia’s “Vendor Performance Share” quite a bit on the latest Top500, giving it 900 PF/s of total aggregate oomph (Rmax), making it second only to HPE at 2.5 EF/s that includes the AMD-powered Frontier’s 1.2 EF/s ( https://top500.org/statistics/list/ ).

Then again, it was probably wise of Nvidia, strategically, to focus on MLPerf instead, as that’s the field (AI) for which the bulk of sales of these (Ewing-Barnes Dallas Family-feud) systems are expected to occur. The more HPC-targeted swiss-cheese Alps, and Venado rocket-sleigh, will surely undergo the whole suite of serious HPL, HPCG, HPL-MxP, Green500, and Graph500 tests (I think).
