It’s not even cableless tho lmao. It just moves them from the gpu to the motherboard itself. Awful.

I wonder what kind of royalties third party manufacturers have to pay to use this standard.

Standardize or bust.

I’m all for this especially as someone that likes SFF the fewer cables the better but like many others are saying this should defs be an open standard

I guess I’m in the minority but this is exactly what I think should happen with the power connector issue, proprietary nature aside.

Hope they just take this design (or a variant) and just make it the standard

Hope it dies. Cables aren’t frustrating enough for the upcharge this would give. And the last thing we need is more hardware tech that one company controls.

I see Asus needs to learn the same harsh lesson that IBM learned with MicroChannel: standardize or GTFO.
