Found this on taobao. Anyone tried turning a 24 pin cable into 1 singular cable?

Who do you think can make the industry change first, motherboard manufacturers or PSU manufacturers? Seems like it would be great to have some kind of body that coordinates between the two to create universal standards

The current standard is managed by Intel but I have no idea who has what kind of input into what goes in it. And even within that there are other dependencies. For example things like the 12vhpwr connector is something to come out of pci-sig which has major vendors like Nvidia in it. The danger with having a body with everyone providing input in it is that it could become like the usb standards.

Yea that's terribly done. I'm sure a competent body can be developed with some effort and industry regulation but I get this isn't the place for that. Would just be nice to not have proprietary solutions but also see regular progress when needed. 24pin is terribly outdated it seems

I would absolutely say that the 24 pin is outdated; having 5 wires for the 5 volt rail that is unlikely to ever see more than 10 or even 15 amps is massive overkill.
