AI Inference Split: Compute for Prefill, Bandwidth for Decode

Discussion around AI inference hardware argues that prefill is mainly compute-bound, while decode—especially for MoE models—is more constrained by bandwidth. In that view, strong interconnects paired with distributed SRAM could offer better cost-performance for inference.
