Besides
@jonnyGURU I don't recall anyone capable of doing this job properly on tech journalism scene. But it is not needed. Give the job to anyone.
A professional won't waste time with an attempt to educate and average consumer, simply because there is no need. And anyone knowledgeable in the field will be tied with many sorts of NDA's about you will keep your mouth shut including me. A retired guy is retired to do stuff for himself and what he likes, despite having the gear, all retirees I know will not obey anyone and will do things only for fun. And this job is not fun.
The topology analysis actually has degraded over time and with lacking parts in PCB design breakdown, that's where the key performance differences really reside, especially for modern designs, for best results
you should even xray the device to choke the maker about design qualities and how lax they are about it. So for most part we can treat the given text as novel or poetry, whatever. You have to start designing PSU's yourself to fully understand the common hurdles of those devices depending on platform and design goals(like make that thing cheap).
Transient response tests done in a mixed random dynamic and not linear manner, not by the rather lacking ATX minimums, but approaching real usage and being bombarded with external EMI radiating sources(read shitty 500W GPU's with spikey nature) and a lot of heat, it is fairly new, now we have a 300W CPU also. You cannot really sum those results as each deviation has it's own severity and you cannot really make a generalized approve stamp often, it depends, so... you cannot distill that analysis to be understood for a mere mortal, the only way to do it is to be imprecise, lie, be unprofessional.
So it clashes with the main idea about PSU reviews as such. It is an unboxing review for most. The technical part is skipped for most due to lack of knowledge to interpret the graphs. So are they really needed? I say
no. They all work and price is the thing you consider most as long it doesn't catch fire people don't really care. Reviews lack some basic info like real product dimensions and dimensions with cables attached and how they bend. That's important bits especially designing tight small format PC's. Put a damn ruler in the photo, it ain't an art photoshoot. I've had many cases that the sizes deviate and you have to fight even for 5mm.
