FSP creates first 80+ Platinum power supply

Quite an achievement, though I wonder if they sacrificed performance elsewhere.

Cool story, although I wonder why FSP leapfrogged all the other 80+ levels before attempting to make an uber platinum power supply (unless they recently produced some good units that I didn't know about?).

They've made 80+ Silver and 80+ Gold units, just very few, if any, companies bought those.

They missed 80+ Bronze though, they were 0.03% too low on the 50% test. I think Ecos should have given it to them anyway, the margin of error on their equipment is greater than 0.03%.
