2000-1800 W for a few milliseconds, Not continues use.
Quality PSU can handle 2.5-3 time their rated W for a few ms even if it 2.xx ATX.
So Keep calm and keep using your current PSU.
ATX 3.0 changes nothing.
i know that my PSU can handle anything in the consumer space. i'm just hoping that the PSU makers give us the option to just buy 12V only cables for future boards.

There is no way I would buy a 1800w+ PSU for a single GPU.

Is there any 1800w+ PSU in ATX form-factor at all?

BTW, 1.8Kw PSU in ATX3.0 standard will be able to cope with 3.5-5Kw spikes so, that's ALOT.

You can't get more than 1800w out of a modern 120v @ 15A outlet so people would need to start running a line from their breaker straight to their PC and ONLY for the PC and plug their monitor and speakers and desk light etc into a different plug connected to a different breaker, and any more than that and everyone would also need to run brand new thicker gauge wiring to their panel or everyone would have to just run it on 240v 3-phase and then get an inverter.

This is why the huge double-sized bitcoin mining PSU that LTT made a video on the other day, needed to be plugged into their 240v outlet.

Either this is a rumour and the person who made it up doesn't know enough about electrical to make it believable, or Intel actually plans to do this and they're absolute retards who don't care about 2/3rds of the world who are using 110/120v. Honestly at this point I can't even decide which is more likely.
You can get more than 1800W out of an outlet in the US for short periods of time. "5 hp" shop vacs pull way more power on startup. Also, any homeowner that wants 240V outlets in the US can have them, it's not against any electrical codes, nor does it require anything special other than the wire and 220V breaker.
