INT4 → INT32 tensor rate

Unsigned INT4 multiply with an INT32 accumulator, the aggressive quantisation path.

How this path is measured

Register-resident MMA issue rate at the card's stock power cap, 20,000 iterations and three timed repetitions, with every output cell checked per state.

Governed by the SM speed-select fuse: no

What the unlock changes on this path

4 rows over 4 cards. 0 improved by more than 5%, 4 did not; the largest gain is GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER at 1.00×.

Reading the numbers

A 1.00× row is not a failed unlock. It says that particular path was never rate-limited, so the override had nothing to restore. If you benchmark your own card and see 1.00× on the mode you care about, the unlock may well have applied correctly and simply does not help that workload.
