Intel publish ATX 3.0

[PKTKS]

Since Feb.  but now complete .. comes with a MASSIVE 600W power specs..

Is there any PDF files to download?

BTW...  I am having another of these very common now bad feelings  about these firmware controlled MCU based all locked devices...   

One more for the list of incompatible ...  certified ....  works with... blah gizmos..
 PSUs   

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/intel-introduces-new-atx-psu-specifications.html?wapkw=atx%20specification


I am even wondering if they will start to sell  these *** specifications..  like USB or HDMI close stuff...    pretty sure PSUs will change radically since this..

Thanks for the link, But there is no Public datasheet or PDF, I think they would sell it too
I hope I'm wrong too.

USB specs are open.

That is the point. Your 1980s garbage is no longer fit for purpose.

I  was missing your pedantic insults... 

FYI..
 I ditched my 80s garbage by late 90s..

also ditched my  90s garbage.. ( MS included )  by early 2000s

And late 2010s garbage I trade for better ones...
they were actually a pretty good value

i always miss you

Just for the record...

You need to PAY something around U$ 10.000  for a valid USB identification..
You got the point..    but you never miss a chance to insult..

Paul

PS/BTW... 

It came to my attention that due to the extortive value of licensed USB gizmos..
Some folks managed to put a range of valid PIDs for open projects..

Hope PSUs would never be held hostage of such ***

Here is the ATX 3.0 specification document: https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/336521?explicitVersion=true&wapkw=ATX

Wasn't that hard to find on Intel's site.

For anyone concerned about these new side-channel lines between add-in cards and the PSU, that they might facilitate lock-in or other restrictions, etc, don't worry. They're just dumb status signals. There is no serial communication protocol.

The Sense0 & Sense1 lines are just a 2-bit hi-Z/gnd (i.e. 1/0) value combination that indicates the maximum power output the PSU can offer. The CARD_PWR_STABLE is an optional open-collector status output from the card to the PSU indicating that its local power rails are within normal limits. The CARD_CBL_PRES# line serves as a primary basic function as a simple presence-detection flag for the PSU, via the card grounding the line. Secondarily - and this is only my interpretation, as the wording in the spec is not detailed, and I'm no expert on PCIe, so I might be wrong - it also can serve as some kind of output from the PSU to indicate to the card (by driving the line high?) that it has been included in power-budgeting allocation, which ties in to some kind of flag register that the card presents on the PCIe bus.

All this is in section 3.3, page 26.

made a quick and dirt pass on the pdf...

Looks promising ... although uncertain in what level these PSUs will handle now digital com..

They will certainly cost a substantial plus due to MCUs requirements...

Hope to see some chipsets already bundled with whole requirements...

and BTW..

If  these new generation  "consumer desktops"   and "corp. kiosks." .

will REQUIRE  170 TDP  for CPU and at least 350W for a mid level GPU...

Put a bestial cooler consuming for 50W and some other gizmos..

Barely 600W will fit the job..   daily ON ..

170TDP is almost double the oldest 90/95W

That is not the same thing as closed specifications. Which they are not, nor are the ATX specs. Complying with them requires having a unique ID, having a unique ID in any address space no matter how large requires coordination, and when the address space is limited, deterrence from waste. This requires staff, who require paying. The standards require engineers, technical writers, proof readers, and so on and so forth, who require paying, or they don't get developed.

The specifications are open. You may reference them, you may implement them. You may choose not to comply fully and take the risks upon yourself if you sell a product.

You never miss a chance to be wrong, hyperbolic, or just plain daft.

For example:

If  these new generation  "consumer desktops"   and "corp. kiosks." .

will REQUIRE  170 TDP  for CPU and at least 350W for a mid level GPU...

A top of the line 16-core CPU having a 170W TDP is not 'requiring' such capacity of any regular machine or its component parts.

Monky.. i love your comments...

Ummm... Some of the most common corp desktops use 25/35/65W TDP CPUs with integrated GPU.  In fact they often use laptop power supplies instead of any ATX variant.  Low power systems are not going away, they are incredibly common.  At the same time, larger GPUs and other add in cards can now require more power than is practical with current ATX standard.  Thus there a new ATX spec that has an optional connector that can supply up to 600 W to a PCIe card, and furthermore is can be made with multiple power levels and signalling of the current capacity to the device so that it is not required to have a >1 kW supply for a system that only uses a low end discrete GPU.

There is no conspiracy here.  This is just an update to a standard to meet needs that are already here.

They are not desktops.. 

There is a big buz over these thin  KIOSKS  that behave like devices..
promoted to sell  small+cheap+compact+thin+gizmos  which ultimately transfer as much as possible from that thing  to the cloud  by subscription..

A while ago a known fellow of mine which by the time was running a PC shop  decided to change all POS to laptops.... (something like 10 positions)  the result was tragic...    the heat and small footprint made the people daily tortured by them overstressed and a lot of the devices just were not meant to run all day... on mains...

The folk accumulated systemic prejudice summed up with sales decay..
eventually he closed the shop with a pile of such bad gizmos that could not even be recycled..

Pretty much there are serious concerns over all these issues:
- form factor
- rated power
- subscriptions
- cloud insecurity  (no one  will ever put a POS on cloud)

HP ann DELL both have such thin  gizmos..

eventually they are not desktop  neither corporate KIOKS (made for serious applications..)

The line is blurry... costs rising and  .. power need became outrageous higher..

Linus is all over it. 

 

I am always surprised how much these folks with such high chan. subs. can put so much thingys..   more like non serious entertainment ..

while others with serious content are just barely over hundreds subs...

people like to see rolling heads...
go figure... hhhhhhh

The smaller channels don't bother to remind their viewers to thank their PSU for years of trouble-free service. I mean really. When was the last time you thanked your PSU?

I am barely a youtuber...  i just overlook things...
some half dozen channels  like Dave and some others...

not even bother subscriptions.  I have not enough time to that much
