VLSI 2018: GlobalFoundries 12nm Leading-Performance, 12LP

"AMD confirmed that they are using 9T transistor libraries, also the same as the previous generation, although GlobalFoundries offers a 7.5T design as well."

And:"Here is a very crude representation of features attached to a data path. On the left is the 14LPP design, and each of the six features has a specific size and connects to the bus. Between each of the features is the dark silicon – unused silicon that is either seen as useless, or can be used as a thermal buffer between high-energy parts. On the right is the representation of the 12LP design"

They reduce the transistors instead of fully creating zen+ for 12nm.

There is a difference and this still uses the 14nm "building plan" the transistors are smaller.

This pic from Anandtech shows how it looks like
