Intel has equipped its Data Center GPU Max 1100 compute gas pedals in PCI Express expansion card format with a new 12+4-pin 12VHPWR power connector.By doing so, the manufacturer followed the example of NVIDIA, which endowed this connector senior graphics cards GeForce RTX 40-series.Image source: IntelThe so-called PCIe 5.0 power connector, more often listed as 12VHPWR, or as a 12 + 4-pin connector, is not a technical requirement for power supplies, which claim to meet the ATX 3.0 standard.However, all PSUs of this standard presented to date are equipped with at least one such connector.NVIDIA was the first company to adopt the new power connector for its next-generation gaming graphics cards.This connector allows you to replace up to four common 8-pin PCIe connectors, and is able to transfer up to 600W of power.The 12VHPWR connector will remain exclusive to NVIDIA graphics cards until January 2023.That is when Intel plans to release server graphics gas pedals Data Center GPU Max 1100.As for gaming graphics cards, neither AMD with its Radeon RX 7000 series graphics, nor Intel with its Arc Alchemist gas pedals have not decided to use the new power standard and use conventional 8-pin connectors.So far, it is unknown exactly what is the cause of the problem and various theories have been put forward.It is possible that the problem is caused by poor quality of the kit's adapters from four 8-pin connectors to one 12+4-pin connector.Another theory says that users who didn't insert the connector all the way into the socket are to blame.Let's hope that Intel gas pedals won't repeat the fate of some GeForce RTX 4090.
