FSP Readies 2500 Watt PSU with Four PCIe 12V-2×6 GPU Power Cables

[AleksandarK]

Taiwanese power supply manufacturer FSP showcased upcoming products for 2023 and 2024. This included new power supply lineups with updated naming schemes - the entry-level VITA series, mid-range ADVAN series, and high-end MEGA and DAGGER series. The simplified naming clarifies the differentiation between affordable, mainstream, and premium offerings across wattages and efficiency certifications. Specific new PSU models include 1500+ Watts beasts for maxed-out systems, redundant server-class units ensuring uptime, and 80+ Titanium efficiency ratings for eco-conscious builds. Star of the show is FSP's flagship unit, which boasts a staggering 2500 Watts, 100% modular cabling, and cutting-edge 12V-2x6 PCIe Gen 5 graphics card power connectors.

Called the Cannon Pro, the 2500-watt power supply has four 12V-2x6 PCIe Gen 5 connectors to feed even the highest power-rated GPUs and the three 6+2-pin connectors. This new PSU is also rated for ATX 3.1 specifications, 80+ Platinum Specification, and the upgraded version of the 12VHPWR PCIe Gen 5 connector, supposedly overcoming all the issues, in the form of a 12V-2x6 PCIe Gen 5 connector. The PSU should be able to power four NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPUs simultaneously with its high capacity. Pricing and availability aren't specified, so we must wait for FSP to launch these products in 2024.

2500Ws!?!?

Well there goes the planet.

Called the Cannon Pro

LOL!

Not sure if it's good or bad...

Isn't it a bit late for the multi-gpu mining craze?

Just in time for the AI craze where people will be hooking up multiple GPUs for machine learning.

Maybe they have classified info and we're facing another dark period in the near future

How does that work? 2400W at 240v is 10A, which is the standard household power circuit here. Do they expect people to have 15A circuits for a PC now?

Here in the Netherlands we have 16A circuits at home, but a system that needs so much power isn't for the regular girl/guy.

Aren't we already, price-wise?

Not sure, we pay for each phases from ranging from 10-63A, if you have electric oven, heating, ACs etc... it is a norm these days. Just call and techs will arrive and set everything up. If something is wrong, you will be also warned.

I see that the whole “saving the planet” and “improving energy consumption” thing is going really well.
I am kidding, somewhat, of course, modern hardware IS watt for watt more efficient than older generations, but I can’t help but think that rolling out a 2.5kW PSU seems to be sending a bit of an odd message.

I mean 16A @220~240v is common outside the US.

 

[P4-630]

In need we switch to 480V

 

[TheEndIsNear]

Dammit too bad they didn't do sli anymore. I'd buy 2 more 4090's and have some real fun with this

In many, if not most, European countries a standard apartment hookup is 16A, with the ability to upgrade to 40A for a single phase or 63A for three phases. There are no limits on individual circuit power, it's up to the homeowner to decide and certified electrician to connect properly.
This obviously is a power supply for specialty needs, not for the average consumer, although PCs are increasingly stupid with every generation so who knows, we might see PC power supplies requiring three phase power in the next few years.

Laughed my butt off on this yesterday, still funny

Not sure about the ampers, but the main one for the floor is 60. The smaller one's are 25, 16 and 10 for the lighting, so I guess I should be good......not that I am ever getting a 2.5kW PSU, but you never know.

 

[FoulOnWhite]

Maybe it's the more money than brains edition, for people running multiple 4090's

Still, it's probably pretty good if it does comply with 80+ platinum

Yes, in Netherlands 16A per 220V is common. Pretty much in the whole of europe i think.

So with 2400W you still be safe. It's equal to running a water boiler, or a dishwasher at full power etc.

 

[KillSwitx]

Also, you will only consume that much amps if in fact you use 2500W ... can't see that happening on a "normal" enthusiast computer yet.
I guess it's good to some extra thousand watts in the pocket just to be safe right?

 

[P4-630]

Even my new airfryer burns 2000 Watts..

 

[KillSwitx]

Which one?

Any news for the release ? Interested in the FSP Mega Ti 1000w
