MWITA-EN-2026-007 · Evidence A · P1
On the same ResNet-50 comparison, IBM reported NorthPole at 22 times lower latency and five times higher frames per second per transistor than the matched-process GPU.
What this does not establish
Latency and transistor efficiency do not establish application accuracy, developer cost or deployability.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Results may differ with batching and newer accelerator generations.
What would change the reading
Standardized current-generation comparison.
