Corsair Launches the HX1200i Power Supply
Corsair, the most awarded PC power supply brand in the world1, today announced a new addition to award winning line of HXi Series of PC power supplies-the HX1200i.
Retaining the ultra-efficient design that has made Corsair's HXi series of award winning PSUs with technology reviewers around the world, the HX1200i ups the ante by offering up to a massive 1200W of 80 Plus Platinum efficient power. Able to drive even demanding three and four card Nvidia SLI or AMD CrossFire multi-GPU systems, the HX1200i delivers 92% or better energy efficiency, ensuring that the minimum of electricity is wasted and that your system runs as coolly and quietly as possible.
Specially selected low-noise components and a Zero-RPM Fan Mode that only spins the PSU fan when it's needed help keep noise to a minimum. With free Corsair Link software enthusiasts can customize the speed of the 140mm fluid-dynamic-bearing fan to suite their systems individual needs. Corsair Link also offers real-time monitoring of the PSU's voltages, efficiency and temperatures, so users can see for themselves just how well their PSU is performing. The HX1200i is also designed to make your system look as good as it runs, with fully modular flattened ribbon cables for superior cable routing and the minimum of clutter.
Specifications
The HX1200i will be available from Corsair's worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors in February 2015.

I saw that some time ago now though that I saw this and just checking it now I'm still seeing it listed with online retailers so maybe it hasn't been discontinued or there's a lot of stock left over.
I only know about this, because I bought one back in May that worked fine for 3 days, but then started making that damned clicking noise in "silent" mode with the fan stopped. It's ended up being a design fault and there's a saga behind it for me to get a refund. It's still ongoing, so I'll start a thread about it when it's all resolved.
You could well be right about the AXi refresh.
