Antec Senior VP gets interviewed at VR Zone

VR-Zone: Recently, we are seeing power supplies that are heading into the 90% efficiency category. Will we see Antec come up with such solutions?

SR: Antec was one of the first companies to support the 80 PLUS program. 80 PLUS Gold gets pretty close, but that's just a standard. Efficiency is one aspect of power supply design. While being more efficient means less electricity wasted and less heat, you do get to a point of diminishing returns. Look at our 80 PLUS Gold line and some of the competition's - it's very expensive compared to 80 PLUS Bronze design. Gold is no guarantee of quality, it just talks about efficient. Yes, to get a Gold badge, you probably have to build a pretty good quality power supply - you need to have some engineering and thinking, but in theory it's not a guarantee of quality...
