- Development costs are so high for small node chips that only products with massive volume market are feasible. A lower cost POET chip will allow products with smaller end markets to become economical. Foundries can make more business cases work.
- POET's unique optical-electrical devices will allow designers to "think outside the box" and come up with some new circuit architectures, novel solutions.
- Static RAM in CMOS takes 8 transistors (devices), POET can do it with 2 devices
- Longer USB cabling uses a electon-photon converter at each end which requires 4 CMOS devices per end, POET can do it with 1 device per end.
- For commercialization POET has picked nodes that are very relevant for integration but the technology is very scalable beyond those nodes.
