Getting 50 GB/S Back from the Apple Neural Engine

https://eiln.github.io/posts/2026-08-10-ane-dma/artifacts/bandwidth-vs-d-near-2048.png
The Apple M3 Neural Engine's DRAM weight streaming throughput is throttled at 17-19 GB/s when the total weight size is a multiple of 1 MiB, due to speculative prefetch ring lookahead requests. This issue can be avoided by splitting transfers that are multiples of 1 MiB into smaller chunks, resulting in a 2.6x speedup.
