Mmm. Needed reviews.

AnandTech is going to be reviewing power-supplies!

This is nifty because:
  • Power supplies are HARD to test right. Much harder than measuring frame-rates in an FPS for vid-card performance.
  • Getting details about what the efficiency label on the side of the box really means is very good
  • Getting an idea as to what power-supply manufacturers build good supplies, and which are fly-by-nights with lots of bling is very good
While it won't affect my job a whole lot (probably very little in fact), having these out there will be good all-around knowledge. Google was famous a few months ago for their push for higher efficiencies in server-class power-supplies. I don't think AnandTech will be testing server-class, OEM supplies but I may be surprised. And who knows, perhaps having this testing out there will spur a bit of good innovation in the industry as a whole.
