There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think this should definitely keep the source from nvidia, and also cite the additional source you are mentioning in the PR summary

This twitter post claimed B200 memory bandwidth is actually 7680gbps, not 8192gbps, as the original bitwidth of the memory bus reported by CUDA drivers has been updated/corrected from 8192 bits to 7680 bits.
I confirmed this claim using Claude to write a simple CUDA C++ file to query the device driver:
And nvidia-smi to get the memory clock frequency:
Bandwidth = (7680bits/8bits per byte)*(3996 MHz memory clock) * 2 DDR / 1e12 = 7.672 TB/s
This PR updates our benchmark/roofline utils accordingly.
