The website claims it’s 10x cheaper (“10x faster on same hardware costs”) and implements SQL execution.

I don’t understand why GPU saturation is relevant. If it’s 10x cheaper, it doesn’t matter if you only use 0.1% of the GPU, right?

Correctness shouldn’t be a concern if it implements SQL.

Curious for some more details, maybe there’s something I’m missing.

GPU databases can run a small subset of production workloads in a narrow combination of conditions.

There are plenty of GPU databases out there: mapD/OmniSci/HeavyDB, AresDB, BlazingSQL, Kinetika, BrytlytDB, SQReam, Alenka, ... Some of them are very niche, and the others are not even usable.
