| *To calculate price efficiency of a
cooling system, we use average retail prices (in Moscow) or recommended
prices (for new products) for December 21, 2006. |
| **Average retail prices |
| 125% penalty for a very high noise
level (from 50 dBA to 60 dBA) |

Here is the list of bonus abbreviations, used in Table 1.
PFG-C - bonus for professional fitness group C
PTC — preinstalled thermal compound
BTC — bundled thermal compound
TCC — thermal control circuit
PAA — power adapter, adjustable
BMA — bundled mounting accessories Technical and economic ratings
Diagram 1. Usability rating of cooling systems
Diagram 2. Economic rating of cooling systems
Diagram 3. Functionality/Price Rating
Note
Functionality/price ratio (FPR) is calculated like this:
FPR = DM*(IAF)/(P/Rp), where
IAF stands for "integrated assessment of functionality of a cooling system" (IAF CS), Rp — reference price), P — average retail price of a cooling system, DM — denominate multiplier (0.1).
That's all for today.
