This knowledge comes in handy with marketing BS around CPU coolers. If an aftermarket cooler gets a CPU to 35C when the stock cooler is at 70C, marketing will sometimes claim it cut temperatures in half.

Usually that should mean it cuts the difference ambiant and CPU in half. Anything else would just be stupid or a lie.
