EDB Delivers “Intelligence per Watt” Paradigm to Slash Token Consumption and Cut Data Center Emissions by up to 87%

Published

on

New benchmarks show EDB Postgres® AI can deliver 5x–12x faster vector indexing and up to 57% lower token usage, as the company proves that the most effective path to AI efficiency runs through the data layer, not the GPU.

WILMINGTON, Del., April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EnterpriseDB (EDB), the leading sovereign AI and data company, today announced a suite of validated performance efficiencies within EDB Postgres AI (EDB PG AI), designed to drastically reduce data center power consumption, lower token usage, and deliver an unprecedented “intelligence per watt” standard for the enterprise.

By 2027, half of enterprises will be using AI agents to redefine how humans and machines collaborate. By 2030, more than 1 billion agents will be actively deployed and will execute roughly 217 billion actions a day. These agents will consume trillions of tokens daily, and electricity demand from data centers worldwide will more than double by 2030 to around 945 terawatt-hours (TWh), with AI being the most significant driver of that increase.

“The AI energy conversation has been about what happens with the models and GPUs. Almost nobody is talking about what happens at the data layer that every agent, every model, every inference call depends on,” said Quais Taraki, CTO at EDB. “You can’t control consumption at the model layer. Agents consume what they consume. But you can control efficiency at the data layer, and for most enterprises, that’s the only lever they actually have.”

Sovereign architecture unlocks efficiency at the core and the data layer

EDB PG AI addresses the agentic energy challenge on two complementary fronts: first, by shrinking the core infrastructure footprint required to run enterprise applications; and second, by making the data-layer operations that power agentic AI—especially search, retrieval, and vector indexing—far more efficient. Together, those gains improve not just how much infrastructure enterprises need but how effectively that infrastructure is used per unit of energy.

At the infrastructure level, EDB PG AI helps enterprises reduce the servers and cores required to run applications, lowering both data center energy use and emissions. An analysis of three BFSI customers operating more than 120 data centers, independently validated by Incendium Consulting, showed up to 94% reduction in compute cores in one case, resulting in up to 87% expected emissions reduction—approximately 153,000 metric tons of avoided CO2e, equivalent to removing 33,000 cars from the road.

At the workload level, EDB is targeting one of the most underappreciated drivers of AI energy cost: the intensive data-layer operations as agents create databases, adjust queries, and move data across enterprise environments 24/7/365. Building and maintaining vector indexes is among the most resource-intensive activities in modern databases—and one that scales directly with the number of agents in production.

New benchmarks show EDB PG AI delivers:

5x–12x faster vector index builds with comparable or superior throughput at 1 billion vectors on a 128 GB server versus 1,000+ GB for traditional vector engines—a step-change reduction in the compute and memory required for AI-scale data retrieval 1

Up to 57% reduction in AI token consumption, with 90% quality preserved and a 72% scenario win rate, demonstrated in a pilot with a leading global telecom provider—directly reducing the energy cost of every agentic interaction

These results build on EDB PG AI’s broader efficiency gains, including 50x–100x faster analytical workload completion on live operational data, and up to 58% lower cost with the lowest concurrency degradation among leading cloud analytics platforms. These are capabilities that reduce the energy overhead of data storage, retrieval, and analysis across the enterprise stack.

The intelligence per watt framework

Building on these demonstrated efficiency gains, EDB PG AI delivers an “intelligence per watt” standard for global enterprises to measure, improve, and operationalize AI efficiency at scale, as autonomous systems create more databases, pipelines, and queries over time.

The platform is built around three principles that compound as agentic workloads scale:

Measure: Quantify the energy and infrastructure cost per unit of AI intelligence produced, extending the Incendium-validated methodology to agentic, RAG, and multi-agent workloads.

Optimize: Reduce compute, storage, and network demand per AI operation through database consolidation, storage tiering, query acceleration, vector indexing, and token reduction.

Govern: Maintain visibility and control over data layer operations as autonomous agents create databases, indexes, pipelines, and queries at machine speed.

“Enterprises succeeding with AI at scale are 275% more likely to prioritize energy-efficient data infrastructure than the rest of the market. They’re also seeing 5x the ROI. That’s the connection most of this industry is missing. This idea of ‘intelligence per watt’ isn’t just an environmental metric—it’s a performance indicator. The companies getting the most from AI are the ones demanding the most from their data layer,” said Kevin Dallas, CEO of EDB.

Organizations can quantify their own intelligence per watt with the EDB PG AI Efficiency Calculator at www.enterprisedb.com/calculator/efficiency, or visit enterprisedb.com to learn more.

ReThink HK 2026 Opens at HKCEC, Bringing Business, Government and NGOs Together to Accelerate Climate Action

Published

on

By

Event demonstrates how sustainability conferences can move beyond conversation through operational leadership, cross-sector collaboration and direct investment into impact projects.

HONG KONG, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ReThink HK 2026 opened today at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, bringing together leaders from business, government, academia and the NGO sector to explore practical solutions that can accelerate Hong Kong’s transition to a more sustainable, climate resilient and inclusive economy.

Opening the two-day event, Miss Diane Wong, JP, Under Secretary for Environment and Ecology, outlined Hong Kong’s latest sustainability and climate priorities, setting the stage for discussions focused on climate action, resource efficiency, innovation, sustainable finance and community impact. “This year marks the beginning of the National 15th Five-Year Plan, which places a strong focus on green transformation. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government is developing its first five-year plan, which seeks, among others, to accelerate green transformation, foster innovation, and seize new opportunities brought about by the vision for a low-carbon economy.”

Mr Chris Brown, Founder and CEO of ReThink HK, highlighted the increasing momentum behind cross-sector collaboration in driving real-world sustainability outcomes. “The sustainability sector does not need another conversation about what needs to happen. It needs more examples of organisations working together to make it happen. Whether through the ReThink Foundation, the solutions showcased on the exhibition floor or the partnerships forming across the event, our focus is on turning ambition into action.”

The ReThink Foundation announces its three 2026 grantee projects, supported through ReThink HK delegate pass proceeds. Together, these partnership-led initiatives will advance inclusion, accessibility and essential support for under-served communities across Hong Kong.

Co-Learning Bridges for SEN Families: Where AI Meets Parent-Child Communication
Gung Hok Charity Foundation, Inclusive Sports Education, Preface and The Chinese University of Hong Kong will support low-income families with children with special educational needs through parent coaching, emotion education, AI-enabled learning and student volunteer “learning buddies”.

BarrierFreeMap.HK: Restaurant Accessibility Survey
Wheel Power and The Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation will expand the city’s crowdsourced accessibility map, training volunteers and wheelchair users to identify and share information on wheelchair-friendly restaurants.

Land and Housing Clinic Programme
Pro Bono HK and Caritas Hong Kong will provide free legal clinics, education and accessible resources for residents of subdivided and substandard housing, helping tenants understand and protect their rights.

The programme reflects ReThink HK’s belief that sustainability events should create impact beyond convening discussions. Through the ReThink Foundation, delegate participation directly supports local NGO initiatives and partnership-led solutions that create lasting social value. The Foundation extends ReThink HK’s impact beyond the event by bringing NGOs, partners and communities together to develop practical solutions for greater collective impact. The ReThink Foundation also thanked Prudential, its 2026 Impact Partner, for supporting its mission to foster collaborative solutions that create lasting social value in Hong Kong.

Sustainability in Action

Throughout Day One, delegates explored solutions, partnerships and innovations designed to help organisations move from ambition to implementation. Keynote speaker Mike Barry, Co-Founder Planeatry Alliance challenged organisations to focus on delivery and tangible outcomes, warning that ambition alone will not be enough to meet sustainability goals. “Too many organisations have made commitments without demonstrating meaningful progress. The words on the paper are easy, the delivery is difficult. Unless businesses can turn ambition into action and show real-world results, they risk losing the trust of the societies they seek to serve.”

Highlights included:

Volvo unveiled its new electric double-decker bus for Hong Kong.ReThink Foundation announced its 2026 NGO grantees.Scientists, business leaders and policymakers came together at the BEC Climate & Nature Theatre to discuss the implications of the latest climate science for business decision-making.

As scrutiny increases around the environmental footprint and real-world impact of major conferences, ReThink HK continues to apply the sustainability principles discussed on stage to the operation of the event itself. Alongside directing delegate revenues into NGO impact projects through the ReThink Foundation, the event works with partners across its value chain to demonstrate how circularity, resource efficiency and responsible consumption can be embedded into large-scale event delivery.

This year’s initiatives include exhibition carpets upcycled from textile waste through NuCarpet, reusable coffee cups supported by EcoVadis, sustainable event apparel provided by Determinant, water refill stations enabled by Swire Coca-Cola, and recycling and circularity solutions delivered by The Loops. Together, these initiatives demonstrate how practical sustainability measures can be embedded into large-scale events while providing delegates with examples that can be adapted within their own organisations.

Mr Simon Ng, Chief Executive Officer of Business Environment Council (BEC), said “Hong Kong does not lack sustainability commitments. The real challenge is delivery. The value of ReThink HK lies in bringing together the stakeholders, their expertise and the solutions needed to move from discussion to implementation. That is what will ultimately determine the success of Hong Kong’s transition to a net-zero, resilient and circular city.”

Looking Ahead to Day Two

The momentum continues tomorrow with a keynote address from Mr Joseph H.L. Chan, JP, Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, at the ReThink Forum.

Prof Debra Roberts will take the stage to discuss UNEP’s new Limiting Overshoot report, highlighting the risks of exceeding 1.5°C and the pathways available to limit overshoot and return to safer temperature levels.

Day Two will focus on how Hong Kong can translate sustainability ambition into delivery, with discussions examining transition finance, the role of the Greater Bay Area in scaling green innovation, and the commercial pathways required to accelerate climate action.

The programme will also feature the second Mills Fabrica Start-up Pitching Series, focused on Techstyle innovation, before concluding with The Great Debate, exploring whether corporate leadership or government policy can deliver a climate-resilient Hong Kong more quickly.

ReThink HK 2027

Thanks to the continued support of its partners and stakeholders, ReThink HK will return to HKCEC in September 2027 for its eighth edition. Building on the momentum of this year’s event, ReThink HK will continue to expand its role as a platform for business leadership, innovation and cross-sector collaboration, bringing together the people and ideas shaping Hong Kong’s sustainable future.
