XFX has added three new power supplies to its ProSeries line, which was first introduced over a year ago. The ProSeries 1050W and 1250W offer an 80Plus Gold rating, while the 1000W is 80Plus Platinum rated.

The ProSeries offers a full modular design, 135mm fan and features XFX's EasyRail technology. The 1250W is rated at 104A on its 12+V, while the 1050W is rated at 87A and the 1000W comes in at 83A. The ProSeries comes packed with protection sensors, including active Power Factor Correction (PFC), Total Power Protection (OPP), Over Voltage Protection (OVP), Over Current Protection (OCP), Short Circuit Protection (SCP), and Over Temperature Protection (OTP).

The new ProSeries power supplies introduces SolidLink Technology. The SolidLink has the pin lag that directly connects to the connector daughter board, where traditional modulars have a bundle of cables that are connected to the connector daughter board. The design reduces lost wattage & heat generated by wires and draws less wall power.

The new ProSeries comes with a 5 year warranty. To learn more about the new XFX ProSeries power supplies, visit the product page.

    1000w platinum rating sounds pretty intense. I only wish that XFX would bring back it's lime green color scheme. I miss those lime green gts 250s.

    Looks like they are going to be selling some Seasonic X-1050s and X-1250 along with the Platinum-1000. Should be solid units, the Seasonic X series has done quite well, i expect the two new models will as well.

    Some 1K watt PSU uses a different type of power cord, such as this Antec 1200

    Are these types better than those standard ones we use all the time?

The one you provided is very odd tbh. For EU plugs those prongs should be rotated for 90 degrees, for UK middle prong should be rotated, for US it should be female connector on PSU and this is male connector. I don't know what type of plug that is, but all are the same performance wise. Only difference is with US 110V compared to 230V.
