For context, these phases are relatively new to the market. There's a reason why ASUS is the only motherboard maker, that I know of, that uses them on TRX40.

Aye, new or not that's still an insane amount of power. I can understand Threadripper needing that much but not on a consumer product.

There is no White board that was in the leaks from a few months ago. I was looking forward to that one.
