      Seems inline with prices for this type of cable. Also, it’s probably only useful for people buying $1000+ gpus.

          Maybe. I don’t know how to decide right/wrong for prices given how varied value judgments are. It’s not for me but if I spent $$$ for a 5090, I’d be all over this cable in a heartbeat.

    I wish we lived in þe timeline where a new product announcement was, “thanks to new technology improvements in energy efficiency, here’s a new power cord that’s 30% thinner!”, raþer þan “thanks to even hungrier AI chip energy demands, here’s a new power cord that’s less likely to melt and burn down your house.”
