It was not particularly easy to move petabytes of crucial data using secure

Internet channels, as Ukraine was heavily bombed and usage of the web increased

significantly. To get physical copies of Ukraine's crritical

infrastructure and economic information data and preserve it, AWS shipped

custom-built Snowball Edge solid-state drives to Poland and then drove them to

Ukraine.

Unfortunately, AWS does not show the Snowball Edge suitcase-sized SSDs used to

physically transfer data from Ukraine to safety.

Asus says its team of extreme overclockers has officially broken the CPU

frequency world record by overclocking an Intel

Core i9-13900K to over 9GHz.

Asus' team disabled all of the Core i9-13900K's E-cores and

disabled hyperthreading, limiting the CPU to only the 8 P-cores and 8 threads.

The team used an unusual combination of liquid nitrogen (LN2) and liquid helium

for cooling

This record is pretty impressive; the 9GHz barrier has been

elusive for decades, even for the best CPUs

and the most experienced extreme overclockers.
