How so? Either you provide something to back this claim up, or you stop bringing it up. The Corsair TX750W is 80+ certified and ... there is no 700W Corsair.
Why don't you start backing your claims up? Antec rates at continous power, they are the only PSU maker to do so at this time. Antec advertises this because it gives them an edge over most other PSU makers because most still rate peak. Now prove me wrong or get on with your day. Unless Corsair and others just started rating continous, you have to go off of past history and all these companies use peak power to rate their supplies.
Edit:
The general 700 Watt Corsair was an example, not indicative of an actual model.
Seriously, I have no idea where you are coming from with this "continuous" power stuff. If your PSU is rated at 500W, no matter if that's continuous or peak, you will hardly be able to extract 700W from it. It will have some leeway toward 600W, but above that even for a Corsair PSU it will drop volts.
On the other hand, whether you have 500W continuous, or 700W peak, your PSU only draws what you need anyway. If a 700W Corsair drew 500W for the system which it needs, then your antec won't do ANY better. If a 500W Corsair drew 500W (100% peak), your antec won't do ANY better. This is because Corsair is a bloody good brand, so are Silverstone, Thermaltake, BFG, and yes antec. But this continuous bullshit is a marketing gimmick and I'm surprised you buy into that.
Here's some testing results of the HX620: http://www.hardocp.com/article...l?art=MTMwMSw0LCw4MA==
Peak or no peak, you will get all the 620W out of it. 80+ eff., a good brand ensure this. Also note: no vdrop.
