Carrying the same concept, Toughpower series want to provide user a reliable, efficient and eco-friendly environment. Therefore the new Toughpower Gold Series adopted Active CLAMP circuitry offers low power loss and high efficiency, 100% High Quality Japanese Capacitors provide uncompromised performance and reliability, Industrial Grade Protection on over current and voltage, under voltage, over power, over temperature and short-circuit protections to ensure the critical components have the best chance of avoiding damage if a problem were to arise, and Quiet and durable cooling Fan offers long-lasting Fluid Dynamic Bearing fan delivers excellent airflow at an exceptionally low noise level, making the Toughpower 550W, 650W and 750W 80Plus Gold a great choice for mainstream users.
SMART 750W and 850W 80Plus Bronze Modular Series
As the responses of the flat modular cables are assenting in market, the SMART Modular Series would like to provide more choices for enthusiasts by adding the 750W and 850W into the Series. Both 750W and 850W units pretty much similar to 450W, 550W and 650W with built in industrial-grade protections for over current, over Voltage, under voltage, over power and short-circuit protections and 14cm cooling fan with intelligent RPM control guarantees cool performance and silent operation. The differences in 750W and 850W are by adopting 100% high quality Japanese capacitors and adding DC-DC converter circuitry on top of double forward circuitry to ensure the efficiency and stability. Both of series are compliance with Intel ATX 12V 2.3 & SSI EPS 12V 2.92 standards and are guaranteed to deliver continuous power 24 / 7 @ 40°C.

VentureBeat that former Apple senior director of product integrity Simon Prakash is now working at Google. Details on his new job at Google are unknown, Prakash is reportedly working on a secret project, presumably run by Google co-founder Sergey Brin.
The recruiting feat is historic since Google has never hired such a senior person away from Apple. The hiring is also interesting because the Department of Justice is investigating Google and Apple for allegedly working out a “no poach” agreement where the companies — along with Pixar, Lucasfilm, Intel and Intuit — allegedly conspired to suppress employee compensation by not poaching each other’s employees.
Simon Prakash worked at Apple for more than eight years and was most recently the senior director of product integrity at Apple, according to his LinkedIn page. That means he was responsible for product quality across all of Apple’s products, from iPhones to Macs. Apple has the best reputation for product quality, according to consumer satisfaction surveys by J.D. Power. - More news at  |
