# Benchmark matrix

> A high-density performance and latency benchmark table comparing five execution workloads across our engine, legacy systems, and industry standards, with right-aligned numeric data and a methodology footnote. States no colour and no font of its own.

Canonical: https://patternpaste.com/pattern/table-metric-benchmark.html
Section: Tables
Access: Included in Pattern Paste access.

## The signature moment: right-aligned dense telemetry

**Precise numerical alignment for technical scrutiny.** Data columns use right-aligned numbers with bold winning metrics and a formal methodology note.

## What happens at 390px

The table states `hasFixedLayout: false`, so its columns size to their content
instead of being forced into equal fractions of the screen. `.wp-block-table` is
a WordPress core `overflow-x: auto` container, so once the columns need more
room than the phone has, the table becomes a horizontal rail inside its own
figure: the page never scrolls sideways, the table does, and every column stays
whole. Fixed layout would have shredded the words instead, because core sets
`word-break: break-word` on the cells of a fixed table. The `figcaption` says
the table scrolls, because a scroll container with no affordance is a silent
failure of its own. No CSS ships to buy any of this.

## What it inherits from your theme

- **The typeface.** No font family is stated anywhere.
- **Your colours.** `base` for ground, `contrast` for text and table rules.
