Mysterious 'Skinny' Joe' Nvidia GPU spotted with a 700W TDP rating — theories abound about the new beastly silicon

My understanding is a lot of prototype GPU PCBs often have excess power inputs for testing purposes. Doesn't mean it is a finalized design.

The derbauer video was interesting, yes. Basic conclusion, they removed the safety overhead.

I can see why they didn't just go for EPS connectors, too easily confused with 8-pin PCIe, but that would have been a better option to respec ATX 3.0 to.
