@momomo_us on X (Twitter) has unveiled official documentation on a new customized HPCE power connection standard aimed at delivering supplementary GPU power through the motherboard. The documentation reveals all the key specifications of the new connector, including its ability to deliver more than 600W of power, which is even more power than what the new 12VHPWR connector provides.

Doesn't it still need power cables to the motherboard though, so it would more be like just moving the cables to a different spot?

Yes, but at least they won't be blocking your cooling. My ITX case is very cramped, I have to carefully move the cables so they don't impede air flow
