Don't Assume Your Cloud T4 Runs at Spec: Gemma 4 Decode Falls 7% as the Card Warms
11 Min Read
The same Tesla T4 on the same Google Cloud VM decoded Gemma 4 E2B at 115 tokens/s at 45 Β°C and 107 at 77 Β°C. The card sits at its 70 W limit, a hotter chip draws more power at the same clock, so the clock drops. No thermal throttle fires, and no spec sheet mentions it.
