Early 2018, PC gaming product manufacturer
CORSAIR released the AX1600i 1.6 kW power
supply.
The Titanium 80 PLUS® PSU uses Transphorm’s
high voltage TPH3205WS GaN FETs in an
interleaved bridgeless totem-pole PFC. As
a result, it exhibits all of the benefits that
Transphorm’s GaN brings to end products.
When compared to its award-winning
predecessor (the AX1500i), the AX1600i offers
numerous advantages ranging from higher
efficiency to higher power output—all at the
same price point. And, product reviewers have
taken notice:
1-2% AC to DC efficiency increase;
yielding greater than 99%
100 W power increase from
1.5 kW to 1.6 kW
6.3% reduced system cost from
0.30 $/W to 0.28 $/W
12.5% smaller enclsosure (by 25mm)
Same thermal performance
A 10 year warranty
