AI-DC KOREA ANALYSIS

Interpretation and the following points to verify

Since the 24% figure is based on the operator’s own pilot results, it should not be extrapolated to represent the overall PUE improvement rate for all centers. Separate verification will be required once the comparison criteria and actual operational data are made public.
