Hardware.Info published a review on the Corsair AX1600i power supply A quote from the article:
Today we take a look at a new high-end power supply manufactured by Corsair, namely the AX1600i digital power supply. It immediately stands out because of its high output, but it is also the first PSU that uses gallium nitride transistors, because they are normally made of silicon. This innovation is supposed to take the efficiency to a level that we have never seen before. Can Corsair fulfill the big promises?

The AX1600i is a high-end 1600W power supply with all specifications that you expect in that segment. 80Plus Titanium, modular, a semi-passive FDB-fan and fully equipped with Japanese capacitors that have a rating of 105 °C: everything that a power supply enthusiast wants. In terms of efficiency Corsair even claims that it surpasses the specs of 80Plus Titanium by a fair amount.
