"Est. speed" is a modelled range labelled estimate (D8) for generation (decode) throughput. "Community" shows the median of approved user-submitted reports on this GPU class only where enough exist — never an estimate. "pp" is measured prompt-processing (ingestion) throughput from approved community reports; rows without a measurement show none.
