The passage around this formula

…budget includes its compute cores, not only its memory interface, and there is no public disclosure that isolates how many of those 700 watts the HBM3e subsystem itself actually draws. Using the whole-package figure as PcuP_{\text{cu}} therefore overstates the copper baseline’s energy cost relative to memory bandwidth alone, which means it understates βcu\beta_{\text{cu}} and, mechanically, would inflate any L computed against it. Even the “easy” side of this ratio is a biased proxy, not a clean measurement — and the…
