Equation 13 · Part 3 · What an AI Accelerator Actually Is: Silicon, Packaging, and the Memory It Can Reach

Symbol β

Pattainable=min⁡(Pmax⁡,  β⋅I).P_{\mathrm{attainable}} = \min\left(P_{\max},\; \beta \cdot I\right).
β\beta

What this part means

the achievable memory bandwidth.

Its job in the formula

β appears in the objective or constraint used by the optimization on the right.

Where the article explains it

Let Pmax⁡P_{\max} be the machine’s peak arithmetic rate and β\beta its achievable memory bandwidth.

The passage around this formula

with W operations and Q bytes. Let Pmax⁡P_{\max} be the machine’s peak arithmetic rate and β\beta its achievable memory bandwidth. Then attainable performance is bounded by Pattainable=min⁡(Pmax⁡,  β⋅I)P_{\mathrm{attainable}} = \min\left(P_{\max},\; \beta \cdot I\right). That expression is the whole model, and it has one structural feature that matters more than the rest. The two bounds cross at a ridge point
