of GPU HBM placed inside the Compute Protected Region (CPR) — access-fenced on Hopper, hardware-encrypted on Blackwell

~90%observed

Value kindobserved — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range.
ScopeThe Hopper configuration studied in arXiv 2507.02770 enforces CPR by hardware access control without runtime HBM encryption; Blackwell adds hardware-accelerated HBM encryption. State memory encryption per platform, and do not treat ~90% as a universal encrypted-capacity specification.
