Maybe it’s time to move on from 12v being the “high power” standard in PCs to something higher. Similar to how cars are slowly shifting away from 12v accessories. 48v would cut the current on the wires and connectors significantly.
48v is the obvious fix because it would let them piggyback on all the design work already done by the auto industry for its own 12->48v transition.
