FP4 is 167% cheaper per token; FP4 delivers 167% more tok/s/chip. The cost-throughput tradeoff from lower precision is only part of the picture — see the evaluation page for accuracy data. (Numbers reflect the default 1k/1k selection for this URL — table and chart below update if you change sequence or model in the controls. Each side uses the best available serving configuration for that precision, which may include speculative decoding such as MTP where recipes exist — the same convention as the other comparison pages.)
