Intel's tests are all the same. They require every power supply maker to follow exacting tests with their hardware. They write the tests, they determine the answers, and they make a test jig that scores how well you did. You are absolutely not allowed to do anything else. I know this for a fact.
This is the type of scenario that can be created. Test cases and all the board makers rely on average spec. Intel tests to 1 spec. There are huge gaps in testing that Intel assumes is OK.
AMD does the same thing but lets you screw around more right now.
