Paired ABBA/BAAB energy audit for T512-N4
Balancing both order sequences within every header confirms T512-N4 energy/thermal noninferiority.
Diagnostic work, exact algebra and local capabilities are not treated as end-to-end mining advantage.
What was tested?
Balancing both order sequences within every header confirms T512-N4 energy/thermal noninferiority.
Why the test is meaningful
Within-header pairing removes header/order confounding and equalizes internal and external measurement positions.
paired Eratio=(J/hash)_N4/(J/hash)_N32CI95 computed across balanced pairsgate: all headers favorable and CI_high<1How it was tested
Run four unseen headers, three paired ABBA+BAAB blocks per header, 96 processes and NVML at 100 Hz.
What happened
N4 improved kernel throughput 1.002816× and process throughput 1.002642×. Energy/hash ratio was 0.980209, favorable on 4/4 headers with paired 95% interval 0.961683–0.999091. Mean power fell from 233.32 W to 229.52 W; maximum temperature was 66°C.
Exactness and statistical controls
Both binaries produced exact B32 results and every preregistered throughput, energy and thermal gate passed.
What the result means
T512-N4 becomes the confirmed local RTX 5080 default: slightly faster and lower energy per hash under the balanced design.
Limitations
- The conclusion is RTX-5080-local.
- It does not alter hash probability.
- It is not extrapolated to ASICs.
Evidence trail
Use the sealed binaries/checksum, equal positions within each header, direct NVML sampling and paired confidence interval.
