Is CPU 8-Pin The Same As GPU 8-Pin?

[nick name]

I've been looking at the back of several different PSUs and some seem to group CPU and PCIe together and some will label specifically CPU and GPU.  My question stems from the units that group them together.  The keying on the back of the unit makes them look identical, but I haven't checked the component side keying.  

 

Are they the same?  The CPU 8-pin and GPU 8-pin?

No Just NO don't mix em

CPU is 4+4, GPU is 6+2. they won't fit in the same socket.

No, they are not the same. They share a similarity in that they both need ground and +12V wires, so companies will make the connection on the PSU side interchangeable in order to save space on the modular board; however, they will be different at the component end.

So I guess Seasonic should do a better job of labeling and not grouping them all together?  EVGA seems to do a better job of distinguishing.  And looking at the EVGA unit I can see a difference in the keying.

Or I guess the cables are probably labeled appropriately and keyed properly at the component end.  So this was probably a very stupid question.  My apologies.

Damn it.  I didn't see this before I posted some more.  Many thanks for this answer.
