Model naming has gotten a bit squirrelly. XFX has made TS models that they sell as 'core' in some sites, and other TS models that might be better than Core Editions.

Here is what I think, but can't prove. Can anyone confirm or deny?

XFX 550w TS (Bronze, Core Edition(?)) P1-550S-XXB9 = Seasonic SS-550AT (I can't actually find specs if this model exists though)
The higher wattage Core PSUs that end in NLB9 do match Seasonic SS-xxxAT specs.)

XFX 550w TS (Gold) P1-550G-TS3X = Seasonic S12G (SSR-550RT)
This appears to be true for higher wattage models as well.

XFX XTR P1-550B-BEFX = Seasonic SSR-550RM (G-Series)

This makes the XFX TS gold psu's better/newer than the XFX Pro/Core Editions models and equivalent to the XTR/G-Series which is just a modular version of the same thing.

True?
 
well theirs a lot of info on them in reviews you got to look them up and decide what is right for you I could tell you this is the best all day long and you could get one and find its not right for you one bit..

gold is better then bronze , but is that unit better built then the bronze? does it use 2ed and 3ed tier parts where the bronze may use all 1st tier parts??

look up the units your interested in at sites that give disassemble reviews

100% Japanese capacitors is better
