Greater earning potential.

Asimov at 400 vs. Blackwell at 170 tokens/sec/user, assuming a 2× token selling price for the faster tier.

Faster inference already commands premium token pricing: Claude Fast Mode charges 2× standard rates, and GPT-5.5 launched with Priority processing at 2.5×.

Both axes use linear scales and actual units, focused on 75 to 450 tokens per second per user. Points one and two compare efficiency at 100 and 170 tokens per second per user. Point three compares speed at equal tokens per dollar. At 400 tokens per second per user, Asimov is approximately 4.1 times as fast at that efficiency.Total tokens per TCO dollar02M4M6M8M10M75100170250350450Generation speed (tokens/sec/user)123

Comparisons, pricing assumptions & sources

Points 1 and 2 compare the devices at equal generation speed. Point 2 is near Blackwell’s maximum shown interactivity. Point 3 holds the Y-axis value constant and compares Asimov at 400 tokens/sec/user with the point on Blackwell’s curve at the same efficiency. The Point 3 callout lists both generation speeds and their shared efficiency.

The dollar view uses total tokens per modeled TCO dollar (capital and operating costs) under neocloud ownership assumptions. The power view uses token throughput per all-in utility MW. Axes use actual units and linear scales. The chart focuses on 75–450 tokens/sec/user; the Y axis starts at zero and scales to the values in that range.

The premium-tier scenario compares Asimov at 400 tokens/sec/user with Blackwell at its maximum shown speed of 170 tokens/sec/user. Revenue gain = token efficiency at those operating points × a 2× selling-price multiplier. It assumes the same 8K/1K token mix and the same sold share of generated tokens, with both input and output prices doubled for the faster tier. No absolute selling price is assumed. These are revenue ratios, not profit margins or additional speed gains.

As a market reference, Anthropic lists Claude Opus 5 and 4.8 Fast Mode at $10 input / $50 output per million tokens, versus $5 / $25 standard, and advertises up to 2.5× higher output speed (accessed September 10, 2026). OpenAI also launched GPT-5.5 Priority processing at 2.5× standard rates. These published serving tiers demonstrate premium pricing for faster inference. The revenue comparison above uses a 2× selling-price multiplier.
