First 80plus Gold PSU!
Of course it's only reference design from nxp again at only 250w, but still a great sign. I wonder if we'll have a retail gold within a year. I'd love to see an 80plus gold at around 300-350w.

Eh,... no.

I rekon we'll be waiting until late next year before a commercially available (and realistically affordable) gold rated PSU hits the shelves. The enermax mod82 is still pretty much the high mark and its only a bronze. I dont think we'll suddenly be jumping up to gold standard unless a whole new tech comes along that revolutionises the industry.
Eh no to you! Also if you notice, I'm the second post in that threadrpsgc wrote:Eh,... no.

That's a single voltage psu. Useless for most of us using standard computers. Not that this is more useful. It's just a prototype to sell components, but it's sign of the near future.

Either way this is not the first 80Plus Gold PSU so there!
What's strange about this PSU is that the maximum efficiency is at 20%, and presumably is higher under 20% of nominal power. Similar efficiency graphs are present at Dell F255E-00 and H255E-00 . Maybe is a new technology, similar with digital PWM on some mainboards.
I want a photo with internals.....
The first drawback i see is that for who want maximum efficiency, will want to operate near 20%, compared with 50% for regular PSUs. Higher power rating on the PSU will result in higher price. Combined with the fact that is a 80+gold, the price will be insane
