Fifth machine. Two additions: - M3 Air (10c) vs M5 (10c): same GPU width, 2 generations apart -> M5 is 7.7x at seq 4096. Isolates architecture from width (the Ultras can't). head_dim-56 fallback reproduces here too (padding = 2.6x), so it now holds on every Apple GPU generation shipping today. - Fanless sustained load: NO meaningful throttle over 5 min (1.01x at 300s). We predicted a decay curve and found none — reporting the negative, since it validates that the burst numbers aren't short-run artifacts. |
