The 300 Watts is intended for the certification process but the maximum slot power will remain to be 75 Watts. Update, 8/24/16, 2:06pm PT:PCI-SIG reached out to tell us that the power increase for PCI Express 4.0 will come from secondary connectors and not from the slot directly. They confirmed that we were initially told incorrect information. We have redacted a short passage from our original article that stated what were originally told, which is that the slot would provide at least 300W, and added clarification:PCIe 3.0 max power capabilities: 75W from CEM + 225W from supplemental power connectors = 300W totalPCIe 4.0 max power capabilities: TBDNew value “P” = 75W from CEM + (P-75)W from supplemental power connectors. SEEMS THEY PUT THE CART BEFORE THE DONKEY guess their working on it hope they reach at least 400-500 watts so the older hardware can live longer Damage_inc- 1 Awards
