FLOPs can not reveal real latency of model, but MACs can?

from the last table only saw MACs and params, is that FLOPs doesn't needed a record? While some paper still report their FLOPs/G for comparasion.

Either FLOPs or MACs are all theoretical things. The real latency is also highly dependent on the hardware structures/drivers, etc., which is extremely hard to predict in practice.

Oh, I mean why not also add a FLOPs in column in common used model in README table.
