So, basically this seems to be a way to replace PRNGs with real randomness with some knobs so you can adjust the distribution. Let's assume for the sake of argument that this can replace every single PRNG call in inference and training, how much savings in cost/energy/run time would there actually be?

Assuming they're free: Essentially nothing. PRNGs are incredibly cheap.
