Intel is reportedly developing the ATX12VO V3 standard for PC power supplies, aiming to enhance power efficiency and simplify designs. This revision will feature a significantly smaller 8-pin connector for the motherboard and CPU power, reducing size by up to 83% and 51% respectively. The new standard will also incorporate PMBus support for detailed power monitoring and communication between the power supply and motherboard, potentially preventing system shutdowns by signaling when power capacity is nearing its limit.
