Apple M1/ANE beats MatVec proofs
- Benchmark notes in niche crypto and lattice proofs found Apple silicon’s ANE and GPU paths outperform CPU baselines for medium‑batch MatVec operations on M1/M3 hosts. - Tests showed ANE handling certain matrix‑vector cryptographic proofs in roughly 1.5–2ms, making mobile Apple devices surprisingly fast for those tasks. - The takeaway is ANE and GPU routes can beat CPU for specific proof workloads, which matters for edge proof-generation and light‑client tooling.
