2.5 KW PSU, that's a crazy power supply.

Not sure why fans needs USB-C, but what do I know?

Relevant comment (yes, from reddit) from a Korean national regarding the source:

Since the article is extensively quoting ChosunBiz though let me add two things as a Korean. Chosun Ilbo touts itself as a number one newspaper in Korea but you can think of it as a bastard child between Fox News and The Sun, absolute cesspool of alt right incubators that deserve zero respect. And then there’s Korean business newspapers which exist only to pump real estate price and be a mouthpiece to big companies to the editors’ gain, zero understandings about industries whatsoever.

This is a great look at a number of games over time from launch to months after launch benchmarking the patch releases as well as drivers. The end conclusion is the day 1 drivers that Nvidia/AMD/Intel produce are worth having and they improve performance and fix bugs but later drivers don't show as helping and the performance changes after that point are attributable to the game updates.

What is wild is Baldur's Gate loosing a tonne of performance in a patch and has never recover its prior performance and it can't utilise the GPU at all well now but there are other games showing not just increases but degradation of performance as well.

One should wait for independent reviews after the product is available, but this is an interesting reference point.
