【Industrial Info】PCIe 5.0 power connector delivers up to 600 watts of power to next-generation GPUs

CviLux sees a PCIe Gen 5.0 platform from Intel, and AMD is also expected

to ferment sometime in 2022. Intel will be rolling out its ARC series on the

new PCI Gen 5.0 standard, so this means that CviLux will definitely be following

up with some graphics cards to upgrade to PCIe Gen 5.0. So a new power

connector is necessary, and that's what the 12V high-power connector designed

specifically with the PCIe 5.0 port does. The new standard can deliver 55A of

continuous power through one 12V channel, which will allow up to 600W of

power to the graphics card. As GPUs become more power-hungry, existing

power delivery systems will not be sufficient.
