When the hardware does not support native low-precision tensor cores, int4 weights are unpacked and expanded to bf16 or fp16 before matrix multiplication, causing the bandwidth and capacity advantages to be lost; T4G widening int4 to 16 bits and Neuron widening int4 to bf16 both fall under this mechanism.
A study published in Neuron showed that when sufficient glucose is present in the brain, neurons tune to environmental information with greater precision.
