Where do you get the FP performance, exactly, and for what value of "FP"? It's unclear to me in the slides from El Reg, which appear to be about the MMA specifically, and it's not clear what the SIMD units actually are. (I don't know if that's specified by the ISA.)
One thing is that it presumably has a better chance of keeping the SIMD fed than some.
