GSI Technology, Inc. is a semiconductor company with a market value of $148 million. Today, GSI stock jumped 200% after news about its technology was released. Researchers at Cornell University tested GSI’s Associative Processing Unit (APU) and confirmed it can match the performance of NVIDIA GPUs while using 98% less energy. Over the last six months, GSI stock had already increased by 95% according to InvestingPro data.APU Performance vs NVIDIA GPUThe Cornell study was presented at the Micro ’25 conference. It showed that the Gemini-I APU could handle retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) tasks at the same speed as NVIDIA’s A6000 GPU but used much less power, as per the report by Investing.com. The study also found that the Gemini-I APU can perform retrieval tasks several times faster than normal CPUs, reducing processing time by up to 80%.Lee-Lean Shu, Chairman and CEO of GSI Technology, said, "Cornell’s independent validation confirms what we’ve long believed—compute-in-memory has the potential to disrupt the $100 billion AI inference market”. The APU was tested on datasets ranging from 10GB to 200GB. The study also introduced a new way to test compute-in-memory devices.Next-Gen Gemini-II APUGSI’s Gemini-II APU, which is the second generation, is said to deliver 10 times faster throughput, lower delays, and better energy efficiency for AI workloads compared to Gemini-I. The company thinks the APU’s combination of speed, energy efficiency, and programmability will help it grow in edge AI, data centers, defense, and other areas where saving energy is important.Live EventsGSI Technology was founded in 1995 and is based in Sunnyvale, California.
