@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.

Doesn't it still need power cables to the motherboard though, so it would more be like just moving the cables to a different spot?

Oh for sure, but it'll be easier to cable manage if it's closer to the edge of the board like over by the 24-pin or something, which is probably the real W with this standard.
