A solution using Enerdyne's Polara can save a manufacturer of today's typically-configured machine more than $3 per unit. If the price is left unchanged this reduction in COGS goes straight to the bottom line in the form of $3 more net profit for every unit sold. The market research group IDC estimates that approximately 168 million desktop computers shipped in 2003 in the United States. If Polara had been installed on each of those machines, OEMs would have reaped at least an additional $500 million in profits.

(Dollar costs are for illustrative purposes only. Actual costs will depend on specifics of the application.)

Alternatively, Polara's additional cooling performance allows manufacturers to improve the computational performance of their offerings by simply increasing the clock speed of the CPU. The result? Higher performance and faster throughput without any change of silicon or any additional cost.
