Was SemiAnalysis macht
SemiAnalysis converts specialist semiconductor and AI infrastructure research into recurring digital subscriptions and higher-value institutional products. Its analysts produce proprietary market datasets, bottom-up models, benchmarking tools and technical research which customers use for investment, procurement, capacity-planning, engineering and strategic decisions. Institutional customers buy direct access to configured research, models and data products, while organisations with specific requirements engage the firm for advisory, bespoke projects or hourly consulting.
Einordnung und Abgrenzung
SemiAnalysis is an independent semiconductor and AI infrastructure research, data and consulting business. It is not a semiconductor manufacturer, cloud provider, chip designer or foundation-model developer.
Strategische Einordnung
KI-gestützte Einordnung aus der bestehenden Unternehmensrecherche; Interpretation und belegte Fakten sind zu unterscheiden.
SemiAnalysis is a United States-based independent research and analysis firm covering the semiconductor and AI supply chain. It publishes a subscription research publication and sells institutional research, data models, APIs and analytical tools covering accelerators, HBM, cloud GPU economics, data-centre capacity, networking, wafer fabrication and energy demand. It also provides retained advisory, bespoke project work and hourly consulting. Its paying customers include institutional investors, semiconductor manufacturers and equipment vendors, cloud and AI infrastructure providers, data-centre operators, utilities, engineering teams and technology executives. The company generates revenue through recurring individual and institutional subscriptions, separately contracted institutional models and data products, and professional-services engagements.
Unternehmens-Newsbriefing
Briefing aktualisiert:
SemiAnalysis hat seinen Marktbeobachtungs- und Benchmarking-Bereich durch die Übernahme von Citrini Research sowie Führungsernetzungen erweitert und führt gleichzeitig detaillierte technische Bewertungen der KI-Infrastruktur fort. Jüngste Analysen des Unternehmens umfassen verifizierte agentische Inferenzleistungen für NVIDIAs Rubin-NVL72-Plattform, Benchmarks für Googles TPUv7 Ironwood, Architekturen zur Auslagerung von Modellparametern sowie eine Parzellen-genaue Untersuchung von US-Rechenzentrumsmoratorien, die eine insgesamt geringe Beeinträchtigung der Kapazitäten aufzeigt.
Geschäftsmodell und Monetarisierung
The company monetises recurring access to digital research through individual and institutional subscriptions. It separately sells institutional research configurations, recurring industry trackers, proprietary Excel/PDF models, APIs and research tools through direct commercial engagement. It also earns service fees from retained advisory mandates, bespoke research projects and hourly consulting; public product pages do not disclose standard institutional prices.

SemiAnalysis Tests Engram Offloading to DRAM and SSD
AI Infrastructure · Erfasster Impact-Score: 4/5
SemiAnalysis analyzes the Engram architecture, a model design that extends standard token embeddings with learned multi-token lookups, allowing for efficient parameter offloading to DRAM or SSD. This reduces HBM capacity requirements for models like DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash. Their experiments show that offloading Engram tables to DRAM can improve performance per dollar, while SSD offloading is currently not economically viable due to overhead. The article also benchmarks inference performance across NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, highlighting NVIDIA's CUDA moat and AMD's slower software support. The analysis includes findings on model behavior, such as gate scan results and ablation studies, and discusses the implications for HBM demand and model architecture innovation.
- SemiAnalysis tested offloading Engram tables to DRAM and SSD for DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash.
- Offloading to DRAM improved performance per dollar, reducing needed HBM capacity.
SemiAnalysis Maps 300 US Datacenter Moratoriums, Finds Minimal Impact
Infrastructure · Erfasster Impact-Score: 4/5
SemiAnalysis published a detailed analysis of datacenter moratoriums in the US, arguing that the widespread narrative that these restrictions are killing the datacenter buildout is inaccurate. The analysis covers over 300 local moratoriums and four state-level actions (New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, Oregon). Using a project-by-project, parcel-level analysis of over 6,000 datacenters, the firm found that only approximately 1,525 MW of planned capacity is genuinely delayed by local moratoriums, representing 7.6% of the capacity sitting inside restricted boundaries. The firm's Datacenter Industry Model forecasts +38 GW of new US datacenter IT capacity in 2027, more than double 2026. The report also discusses public sentiment, finding that 46% of Americans view datacenters unfavorably, and examines the political dynamics driving moratoriums.
- SemiAnalysis maps over 300 local datacenter moratoriums and bans across the US, plus four state-level actions (New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, Oregon).
- Only 1,525 MW of planned capacity is directly delayed by local moratoriums, which is 7.6% of the ~20 GW exposed.
Rubin NVL72 Agentic Inference: 67x Better Performance per Dollar
Infrastructure · Erfasster Impact-Score: 5/5
SemiAnalysis reports first verified agentic inference results for NVIDIA's Rubin NVL72 platform using their AgentX benchmark. Even on early pre-release software, Rubin delivers up to 67x better performance per dollar of TCO compared to GB300 in certain configurations, and significantly higher throughput per MW. The analysis projects Rubin can generate over 2x more profit per gigawatt than Blackwell, with revenue and profit advantages of 39% and 42% respectively at a fixed power budget. Dynamic power shifting (DSX MaxLPS) allows more GPUs per datacenter footprint. The article highlights Rubin's superiority over H200 and MI355X, with recommendations for inference providers to adopt Rubin for cost-efficient token generation.
- Rubin NVL72 achieves up to 67x the throughput per TCO of GB300 in specific scenarios.
- Rubin delivers up to 7x better token throughput per MW than Blackwell in real-world tests.
Most Neoclouds Fail at Security
Infrastructure · Erfasster Impact-Score: 3/5
SemiAnalysis published findings from its ClusterMAX 3.0 security testing (April–July 2026), reporting widespread misconfigurations, out-of-date software, and multiple cross-tenant vulnerabilities across neocloud providers. Tests on 25 providers and 32 clusters uncovered issues including container escapes (e.g., NVIDIA Container Toolkit CVE-2025-23266), Prometheus/Grafana misconfigurations exposing tenant telemetry, incorrect InfiniBand partition and key settings, and BlueField DPU management plane exposure (RShim). The report links these operational failures to real supply-chain risk for major customers (banks, telcos, AI labs, and a national intelligence agency). SemiAnalysis offers a ClusterMAX CLI audit tool, urges enrollment in vendor embargo programs, and recommends systemic patching and stronger isolation practices.
- SemiAnalysis ran ClusterMAX 3.0 security testing across 25 providers and 32 clusters between April and July 2026.
- ClusterMAX provides a CLI (pip install clustermax) and a publicly hosted minimum-versions feed used for automated audits (clustermax.ai).
OpenAI’s Jalapeño Chip Shows Leading Inference Efficiency
Large Language Models (LLM) & AI · Erfasster Impact-Score: 4/5
OpenAI revealed Jalapeño — its first custom inference ASIC and rack-scale platform co-developed with Broadcom and Celestica and shown at Hot Chips — with A0 engineering samples taped out Nov 2025. The compute die uses TSMC N3P, MXFP numeric formats and HBM4 (15.4 TB/s per package); package TDP is ~700 W with sustained test power ≲ ~550 W. The rack design keeps model state (KV cache) local, simplifies on-node fabric and can scale to 2,048 XPUs. OpenAI and SemiAnalysis/InferenceX benchmarks report substantial performance-per-watt and latency gains (and partial advantages vs Nvidia GB300), but results are not independently verified and did not include Nvidia Vera Rubin. OpenAI targets small-volume deployment end‑2026 and broader ramp in 2027, pursuing a multi‑vendor production strategy while production economics, yield and fleet reliability remain unproven.
