    I don’t know the whole story behind Cybenetics, but I think it started just a few years ago as one guy who was active in the hardware enthusiast community and dissatisfied with the info generally available about power supplies. He has been doing outstanding work, not only in measuring performance and efficiency in multiple dimensions, but also in measuring the noise produced by these things at various workloads, and publishing the results for free. The reports were instrumental in my last hardware purchase, and I’m very happy with the model I chose.

    It’s great to see his work recognized by a big vendor, and to see a big vendor moving to a superior certification system. Thanks for posting this.

    manufacturers can certify hardware then change it up later keeping the certification. this alone already makes 80+ certification meaningless.

    having to rely on a brand to be honest about it defeats the purpose of certifying them in the first place.

    if this cybenetics thing can fix this, so be it.

      I also wish we had Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism instead of Captain Botox… but alas, it is not so.
