THE BYTE FLOOR
bytes divided by bandwidth, floor
Divide the bytes a token needs by the memory bandwidth and you have the byte floor — the fastest that token can possibly arrive, before any computation counts.
Decode speed is a bytes problem before it is a compute problem, which is why precision, residency, and placement are the levers that matter — and why the file format is where they are all decided.
