Yes, but it seems unlikely to hit consumer markets soon. It is mostly interesting for OEMs apparently. I hope I am wrong though.

- vladvasiliu 4y agoAren't OEMs already able to do pretty much what they want? I have a desktop HP that has a standard-sized PSU but has a weird connector that only plugs into the motherboard. The drives are powered from a separate connector that also plugs into the motherboard. And the PSU - MB connector is much smaller than standard ATX.
- rocqua 4y agoHP can control the full stack. MB and PSU at the same time. But smaller OEMs might want to not have to manufacture their own totally custom components. So it makes sense for them to standardize. If not for interchangeablity then to ensure you can sell your custom parts to other OEMs.
