DeepX Obtains Government “Green Technology Certification” for Low-Power AI Semiconductor Technology

Power Consumption Reduced by up to 26.25% in KTL-Certified Tests
Operating Temperature Lowered by 20 Degrees

DeepX, a company specializing in ultra-low power artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductors, has demonstrated both technical excellence and energy efficiency by obtaining the government’s “Green Technology Certification” for its core AI inference technology designed to accelerate low-power edge computing.

On September 14, DeepX further announced that four of its AI acceleration modules—two DX-M1-based M.2 acceleration modules and two DX-H1-based PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, a high-speed data transfer standard between electronic components) acceleration modules—have also received “Green Technology Product Confirmation.” The certification and confirmation will remain valid until September 9, 2030.

According to official test results from the Korea Testing Laboratory (KTL), DeepX’s PCIe high-performance product line reduced power consumption by 21.84% to 26.25% compared to reference systems, while also lowering operating temperatures by more than 20 degrees Celsius. The M.2 compact product line also achieved power savings of 17.26% to 23.35%.

The core of these achievements lies in DeepX’s proprietary, high-efficiency Neural Processing Unit (NPU) architecture. It features a precision design that significantly reduces unnecessary data movement and memory access, minimizing power loss that typically occurs as data shuttles between memory and computational units during processing. As a result, DeepX has maintained AI inference performance while dramatically lowering power consumption and heat generation, earning high praise from the green certification review committee.

Backed by this Green Technology Certification—granted under the “Framework Act on Carbon Neutrality and Green Growth for Coping with Climate Crisis”—DeepX will receive a variety of government benefits, including policy incentives for public procurement, preferential points for commercialization, financial and policy support, and support for overseas expansion. DeepX aims to use this certification as a springboard for early entry into the public sector and to accelerate its expansion into industrial sites both domestically and internationally.

A DeepX representative stated, “As AI expands beyond data centers into robots, factories, and mobility sectors, delivering high-performance with minimal power consumption will become increasingly important. This certification is significant as it objectively recognizes the energy efficiency of the low-power AI semiconductor technologies DeepX has developed. By broadly applying our low-power AI technology across various industrial fields, we aim to help reduce the growing energy burden associated with the spread of AI.”
