AI-related announcements have produced mixed reactions, with several positive technology updates followed by both strong gains and notable sell-offs.
Over the past year, Navitas has issued multiple AI-focused power announcements. In March–May 2025, it highlighted PSU designs exceeding 80 PLUS Ruby standards and introduced higher-power 8.5 kW and 12 kW platforms for AI data centers. Later in October 2025, it aligned devices with NVIDIA’s 800 VDC architecture. A November 20, 2025 partnership with GlobalFoundries expanded U.S.-based GaN manufacturing. Today’s 10 kW 800 VDC DC-DC platform fits this ongoing roadmap of higher efficiency and density for AI data centers.
Historical Comparison
AI-tagged news has averaged a 3.9% move. Today’s 19.25% reaction to the 10 kW 800 VDC DC-DC launch stands out as a much larger response.
AI power announcements progressed from exceeding Ruby PSU efficiency standards to higher-power 8.5–12 kW platforms, alignment with NVIDIA’s 800 VDC architecture, and a U.S. GaN manufacturing partnership, now extending into a 10 kW 800 VDC DC-DC module platform.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement extends Navitas’ AI data center roadmap with a 10 kW 800 V–to–50 V DC-DC platform delivering up to 98.5% peak efficiency and 2.1 kW/in³ power density. It complements earlier AI power milestones and partnerships focused on higher-efficiency PSUs and 800 VDC architectures. Investors may track adoption by key data center customers, follow-on design wins, and future updates comparing this module’s performance to existing AI power solutions as commercialization progresses.
