Realistically, how important is FLOPS to most servers? File servers, web servers, database servers, authentication servers... none of them tend to be heavy on floating point. Sure, HPC is all about FLOPS, and desktops tend to use quite a bit for presentation nowadays, but I would consider memory bandwidth, I/O bandwidth, thread scaling, and single-thread performance non-FP metrics such as branch latency to be much more important in the general server market.
