No PC gamer actually needs this 3000 W power supply unit but like Gollum and the one ring, I wants it
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It's fair to say that, compared to CPUs and graphics cards, power supply units aren't really PC components that normally get one's hardware juices flowing. They're mightily important, of course, and you should always get the best you can afford, but once they're hidden in the depths of your gaming rig, you'll never pay much attention to them. That said, the new Asus Pro WS 3000W Platinum is so wonderfully over-the-top that I'm drawn to it like a proto-hobbit to a band of gold. I caught wind of the mighty PSU over at ComputerBase and immediately headed over to Asus' site to pore over its specs. Let's begin with the most important aspect here: the Pro WS range isn't aimed at gamers, as the construction and feature set are firmly in the workstation camp. That said, they will fit any decent-sized desktop case, and if you're feeling flush and foolish, you could always pop one in. The range-topper is the Pro WS 3000W Platinum, and as the name clearly states, this is a 3,000-watt PSU. Yep, three thousand watts. It's that high because it's designed to power up to four GeForce RTX 5090 cards. Or just one and never even notice it. As well as supporting a ludicrous number of GPUs, and the obligatory CPU and motherboard requirements, you've also got scope to host a small mountain of other devices via four 8-pin PCIe and six SATA/Molex connectors. You'd probably need all those just to power the sheer volume of fans required to keep four RTX 5090s from melting the motherboard, though. For me, though, I just really like how industrial it looks. There's no mere flimsy metal grill covering the cooling fan here; the PSU's casing itself acts as a barrier to inquisitive fingers, and it just shouts heft and solidness. Now, I should imagine that you'll be thinking that the Pro WS 3000W Platinum is rather expensive. And you'd be right if you are, as ComputerBase says the range-topper has an estimated MSRP of €699 (around $822/£602 with current exchange rates). It's not due to appear until the last few months of 2025, so the price may alter somewhat by then. But while 699 euros is a lot for a PSU, it's actually not that bad considering its capabilities. I'd say that it's better value than the other Pro WS models, but none of them are what I'd call excessive: the 2,200 W one is €599 and the 1,600 W version is a surprising €479. If you head over to Amazon and check out other 1,600 W PSUs and you'll see that they're all just as pricey, if not more. That's a surprise because you'd expect a 'workstation' product to sport a 'workstation' tax, but if Asus does stick to these prices, then fair play to them for not going wild with the price tags. I suppose the specs are ludicrous enough for anyone. One thing that's worth noting about all PSUs is that they typically hit their peak efficiency at around 50% of the maximum rated load. The exact point varies from model to model, but I reckon that this one will run best in the 1,500 W region. That's still more power than most RTX 5090 gaming rigs will draw, but if you have an extreme overclocked one, then this supply could be the perfect match. Alas, I'll never be able to afford one and my house has rather iffy electrics—I'd hate to plug a fully-loaded Pro WS 3000W Platinum into any of my sockets—but one can dream, yes? Famous fictional characters may be driven to a life of desperate yearning by cursed rings of power, but it's chonkmeister power supplies for me.

China can't buy Nvidia's RTX 4090. Now its optical chip is twice as fast
Chinese researchers have developed the first highly parallel optical computing integrated chip, named 'Meteor-1', setting a milestone for using light to perform an enormous number of operations at the same time, the scientists say. The advance promises hardware acceleration for AI and data centres struggling with soaring computational demands. The chip achieves a theoretical peak computing power of 2,560 TOPS (tera-operations per second) at 50GHz optical frequency – performance comparable to Nvidia's advanced GPUs – according to a report by Chinese publisher DeepTech last week. Nvidia's latest GeForce RTX 5090 graphic card, for instance, peaks at 3,352 TOPS while its previous flagship RTX 4090 only reached 1,321 TOPS. In the past, optical chips remained mostly in laboratory settings, and could not come close to commercial flagship GPUs in real-life tasks. Nvidia's 4090 and 5090 are effectively banned for sale to China because of US export controls on advanced semiconductors and AI chips that could aid Beijing in advancing its military capabilities. As traditional electronic chips hit fundamental physical limits – from heat build-up, quantum effects and unsustainable power consumption – optical computing emerges as a critical future direction. Its inherent advantages, such as ultra-high speed, broad bandwidth, low power and minimal latency, position it to overcome these barriers. Progress in optical computing has long focused on two key challenges: scaling up the matrix size and increasing optical frequency. Existing top models – exemplified by prototypes from TSMC and the California Institute of Technology – are pushing against both engineering and physical limits. Consequently, a third way – expanding computational parallelism, or the ability of chips to multitask – has become the necessary path forward. In a paper published on June 17 in eLight journal, Xie Peng and Han Xilin of the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (SIOM) and Hu Guangwei of Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, detailed a novel optical computing system that could hold more than 100 frequency channels in a single photonic chip. 'This achievement enables a 100-fold increase (and even beyond) in optical computility through ultra-high parallelism without scaling up the chip size, offering a novel technological pathway for future optical computers,' they said in the paper. Han told DeepTech of the economic potential: 'This breakthrough promises to elevate optical computing to a cost-performance level competitive with electronic chips.' The integrated Meteor-1 system features fully self-developed architecture, including a light source chip, optical interaction chip, optical computing chip and a modulation matrix driver board. The light source chip uses an integrated micro-cavity optical frequency comb with an output spectrum exceeding 80 nanometres (nm), supporting more than 200 wavelengths. This chip-scale multi-wavelength source replaces hundreds of individual lasers, drastically reducing system size, power consumption and cost while boosting integration. The core optical computing chip itself boasts a high transmission bandwidth over 40nm, enabling low-latency parallel processing. Complementing this, the team's custom-designed driver board features more than 256 channels for precise optical signal control and efficient processing. Leveraging this system, the team set a world recording running more than 100 tasks at the same time on the system. Operating at 50GHz, the single chip delivers theoretical peak computing power of more than 2560 TOPS. Leading researcher Xie Peng earned his PhD at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States and then conducted research at Oxford University and NTU Singapore before building on those research foundations to establish the optical chip and photonic computing team at SIOM in Shanghai last year. Xie highlighted the advantage of the team structure at the Chinese Academy of Sciences to DeepTech: 'In our team, each key technical point has dedicated experts driving deep research. This modular-to-integrated approach enabled us to complete the full-chain innovation, from fundamental research to system integration, in a relatively short time frame. 'This also explains why challenges unresolved abroad for years saw breakthroughs quickly after my return.' 'Under our parallel optical computing scheme, key metrics like computational efficiency, power consumption and latency have the potential to surpass traditional electronic computing,' Xie said. 'We firmly believe optical computing, with the scalability challenge potentially addressed by our approach, can meet AI's ever-growing computational demands and unleash a wave of new applications.' – South China Morning Post
