In previous generations, throughout was excellent for an integrated GPU, but the time to first token was lacking.

So throughput was already good but TTFT was the metric that needed more improvement?

  • To add to the sibling "good is relative" it also depends what you're running, not just your relative tolerances of what good is. E.g. in a MoE the decode speedup means the speed of prompt processing delay is more noticeable for the same size model in RAM.

  • Yeah TTFT was terrible. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to benchmark the most-improved metric.
