Nice!

This is a really helpful breakdown of why a single FLOPs number never tells the whole story. The TAF approach with a fixed workload-derived GEMM set makes a lot of sense for repeatable comparisons. It is interesting to see the MI325X TAF values landing at 74 to 81 percent of MAF, which shows how much shape selection can skew results. Looking forward to seeing how this metric gets adopted across the industry.
