PCIE5 GPUs sooner than expected?

[Grim5]

ASUS has launched its ROG THOR II power supplies, these new models have PCIE 5 12 pin power connectors for "next gen Nvidia and AMD GPUs"

Surely they wouldn't launch it way ahead, is the 3090ti coming soon?

And just for luls, in the announcement video they show a RTX3090 on a test bench having a 940w transient spike!

thought NV already uses these connectors on the FE.

PCIE5 power cable can supply 600w over a single cable
