At present, Intel has launched 12th generation Core processors, one of the functions is to increase PCIe 5.0, of course, there is still a certain time before the release of PCIe 5.0 devices, but power supply manufacturers seem to have laid out in advance to prepare for PCIe 5.0 devices. At present, some power exposures equipped with PCIe 5.0 power supply interfaces are reported to use 12+4Pin power supply, thereby providing higher energy supply for graphics card terminal equipment.
The first is the power supply, at present, there is an interface specially created for PCIe 5.0 on the exposed power supply, which is independent of other power supply interfaces, and adopts a 12+4Pin design, of course, here 12Pin is the power supply interface, and the other 4Pin is responsible for signal transmission and control, and through the 12Pin interface, the power supply manufacturer can provide up to 600W of power supply. Considering that the current graphics card and other electric tigers have different power supply designs, so power supply manufacturers have also carefully prepared different power supply lines, including 12+4Pin power supply design and 8Pin and 6+2Pin design, which should be able to meet the needs of most graphics cards at present.
Although there are very few graphics cards that can eat 600W power supply, since power supply manufacturers have begun to prepare for PCIe 5.0 devices, the next generation of products should have a relatively large increase in power consumption, but if only a 12Pin can meet the power supply, it should be good news for the cable.
