I think the thumbnail says it all

All the KS chips are ridiculous, and this one wasn't going to be an exception.

Don't think too many cases support this config considering there's limited space. Wouldn't be surprised if it was for some corsair case.

I once bought an Antec PSU with a "revolutonary" design that, while only supported in 3 case designs at the time, it was supposed to be first of many to come. By the time I got a new case, I had to get a new PSU because not evne Antec supported that design after the initial products and those three cases.

So yeah, I'll certainly stay away from innovations like that one until it becomes common, if it ever does.

Besides, as you say, there isn't a lot of room on the side to bend and reroute cables, and that could cause further problems than what regular PSU designs don't face.

I was taking a peek at TSMC's financials while looking for new shares to buy. Looking at their cost of profit metrics it would seem the increase in node costs over the past decade and a half are entirely genuine, although during the pandemic, chip shortages pushed profits higher than they would have otherwise been.

So while Nvidia, Apple, etc. might have paid a premium to reserve their cutting-edge stuff, don't expect prices to come down much in any of the foundries even with increased competition and no pandemic shortages.

This bodes ill for the prices of 2024 CPU/GPU/Smartphone releases and beyond...

Well, that sucks.

In any case, thanks for sharing with us this dooming news.
