Redmond (WA) – Less than a year from his previously announced departure from the company he co-founded, the Bill Gates today outlined his vision and opportunities for Microsoft.
Gamespot: The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7P is still our favorite PS5 headset, but there are several great alternatives to choose from in 2024.

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space
Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
The last time I check they where having trouble getting over 3ghz with out over clocking.
So how in the world are they going to get to 10ghz...
Someone who is much more computer experienced then me please explain..? does he mean overclocked or is he saying with a Quad. because The fastest quad I have seen, ran at about 3ghz for each processor. Is it possible to get one chip to run at 10ghz. really?
I think I just read the whole thing wrong because he said parallel so maybe I just didn't understand how this 10ghz is actually reached.
Size matters. Moving from 90nm to 45nm(?) will create a lot less heat and allow for speed improvements. Also, shrinking components allows for more transistors and what not to fit on a chip. I think the limiting factor is that an electron must not stray outside the physical paths and so they can only shrink things so much. Cheers.
I think we would see this on a Single core, before a multi-core system.
I am thinking that for that it would take MAJOR hardware changes for Mobo's, Mem, and Harddrives to even utilize that type of speed.
It would be interesting to see none the less.
ya the main reason why we aren't sitting at 4.0 or 5ghz is because the chips were creating so much heat around 3.5 ghz that they would either overheat and literally melt or the CPU would need a 200 dollar fan, a top of the line heat sink gell, and a liquid cooling system.
bah Bill Gates can be an idiot sometimes. Anyone remember his famous other quote "640kb ought to be enough for anybody".
