They're CWT DSGs. Take a look at the Corsair TX950 or Glacialtech GP-AX950AA to see how they'll perform. Also, double-forward conversion is a "special" feature now?

Anyway, I'm happy to see Thermaltake bring out some more quality PSUs. Definitely a step in the right direction compared to their TR2 models manufactured by HEC.

I think it was Enermax that coined that Term? :)

Good to see something a little stronger. Better choice than CM's GX lineup.

No, hardly. Double-forward conversion is a standard and extremely common topology in modern PSUs. The majority of efficient PSUs nowadays use it, with a handful of platforms using other designs, like LLC resonant or phase-shifted ZVS full bridge.
