How we checked this
Checked on October 10, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The release attributes the expected 1.18 PUE to the company's data center design in general. It does not explicitly tie that figure to Polaris Forge 1.
Confirmed in the source:
- Applied Digital's data center design, featuring closed-loop direct-to-chip cooling, is expected to achieve a PUE of 1.18
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- That the 1.18 PUE expectation is stated specifically for Polaris Forge 1, rather than for the company's design generally
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
What we did: Read our cached copy of IR page (ir.applieddigital.com) (https://ir.applieddigital.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/126/applied-digital-reports-fiscal-fourth-quarter-and-full-year/) in full (41,830 characters, retrieved September 1, 2026) and checked each assertion in the claim against it.
