What is this feature?

Hi all,

been looking through the "This Week only Offers" and noticed that on the "Enermax Galaxy 1000W EGA1000EWL ATX2.2 Modular PSU" is a feature of "- World's first PSU with a dedicated RAM power cable to support next generation 32-64GB RAM systems".

My question is simply what is thisi for?

My question is simply what is thisi for?

I'm assuming it's provided for high end workstation/server systems whose board provides a socket for directly powering the RAM through it's own voltage redution circuitry rather than using the CPU VRMs. It's a nice to have, nothing more.
