China Doesn't Need 3nm? This 12nm Chip Proves It. IBM's NorthPole delivers 25X efficiency on old 12nm by fusing memory and compute together. No EUV, no 3nm rat race needed. This changes the US China chip war.We break down the 256-core design, 22 billion transistors, Science 2023 peer-reviewed results, the 288-card rack running Granite 8B for 28 users at 30 kilowatts, why IBM shelved it as a research prototype, and why architecture is easier to copy than a cutting-edge fab.If inference is most of AI's lifetime energy, efficiency is grid strategy. Smaller transistors, or smarter architecture? Drop your pick in the comments.
