… to automate the economy of the Soviet Union?

I also wish we had Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism instead of Captain Botox… but alas, it is not so.

we could see other PSU makers follow suit in switching to Cybenetics
It would certainly be great if all did. But I doubt that will be the case.
Only the best have an interest in switching.
But maybe that’s good enough for now. The PSU market is versatile, and those that care will drive demand for this information. Maybe those targeting the enthusiast market won’t be able to get around providing it.

I don’t know the whole story behind Cybenetics, but I think it started just a few years ago as one guy who was active in the hardware enthusiast community and dissatisfied with the info generally available about power supplies. He (now they?) has been doing outstanding work, not only in measuring performance and efficiency in multiple dimensions, but also in measuring the noise produced by these things, and publishing the results for free. The database was instrumental in my last hardware purchase.
It’s pretty great to see his work recognized by a big vendor, and to see a big vendor moving to a superior certification system. Thanks for posting this.
