Pretty much and the test suit is optimized to get the results they wanted.

Pretty sure a useful benchmark for this kind of thing would calculate performance per watt (or per watt and dollar).

That info is conspicuously absent from the article.

The electricity consumption in the cloud is not really important.

The H100 rents for about $4.5/hr consuming 0.7kWh in that hour which will likely cost them less than 7 cents.

That just says you don't run a cloud for profit :)
