On ResNet-50, NorthPole achieved 25 times the frames-per-second per watt of a GPU fabricated on a comparable 12-nm process in IBM's study.
What this does not establish
The ratio is not universal across models, software stacks or current GPUs.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Benchmark selection and process matching do not equal product-level cost parity.
What would change the reading
Independent replication on current nodes and broader models.
