All Corsair PSUs are rated for their continuous ability to provide that much power. So, while it's accurate to say they're under rated, it's also accurate to say that they're accurately rated for those who want to know what the PSU can do continuously. But some PSU's wattage ratings are the PSU's peak rating. So, there are some PSUs that might say "650W" when that's actually it's peak rating, not it's continuous.
Most of the top-quality PSUs (if not all of them) show their continuous rating instead of the peak while most of the lower quality only show the peak rating. After all, an enthusiast/overclocker needs to know what the PSU would be able to handle 24/7, if it were ever necessary.

 The thing that I like about the TX950 most: Its heatsink screws are actually screwed in, instead of being loose like all the other CWT models.  For reference, here's who makes each Corsair PSU: OEM: Channel Well Tech (CWT) VX550W ~41A TX750W ~60A HX750W ~62A TX850W ~70A TX950W ~78A HX850W ~70A HX1000W ~80A OEM: Seasonic CX400W ~30A VX450W ~33A HX450W ~33A HX520W ~40A HX620W ~50A HX650W ~52A TX650W ~52A The SeaSonics are generally slightly better in terms of quality than their CWT brothers, but the HX series is an exception. Edit: Here is the review, if you want to read it.
