I don't get why they couldn't just do more 8-pin connectors. Three is common enough on things like 6900XTs. Four would give you a 600w envelope too.

Then you don't have to redesign the PSU and they're a known quantity. It's not like this lets you make the card meaningfully smaller, heatsimk and all.
