@momomo_us on X (Twitter) has unveiled official documentation on a new customized HPCE power connection standard aimed at delivering supplementary GPU power through the motherboard. The documentation reveals all the key specifications of the new connector, including its ability to deliver more than 600W of power, which is even more power than what the new 12VHPWR connector provides.
If it’s just adapting an existing standard used in servers for use with graphics cards, this might actually have a chance of gaining a foothold. It would probably make people feel more comfortable with high power graphics cards too, considering the recent melting-cable fiasco.
