Razer, known as a manufacturer of gaming peripherals, computers and related products, has released its fiscal 2020 results.
Razer’s annual revenues were at an all-time high, surpassing $ 1 billion for the first time. More precisely, the company received $ 1.2 billion, which is 48.0% more than in fiscal 2019. Gross margin increased to 22.3% and the company ended the year with a net profit of $ 0.8 million. The balance of funds exceeded $ 600 million, excluding liabilities.
“2020 has been a stellar year for Razer and a watershed year for business. Despite the global market uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the company surpassed the $ 1 billion milestone and became profitable beyond expectations. These metrics reflect brand dominance, compelling offerings across our ecosystem of hardware, software and services, and reliable performance.

Some motherboards will turn the Core i9-13900K into a power consumption monster. The power limit will increase to 350W

Intel can make the Core i9-13900K even more attractive with a new auto-overclocking mode.
The source reports that some motherboards based on 700-series chipsets will allow you to activate an increased power limit. In this case, we are talking about a value of 350 watts. For comparison, Alder Lake has a maximum of 241 watts.
The values of PL1 and PL2 for the new CPUs will hardly change and will amount to 125 and 253 W, respectively. But there will also be an opportunity to remove the limit, thanks to which the Core i9-13900K will be able to consume up to 350 watts. In this case, of course, the motherboard will need a powerful power supply subsystem, and the processor will need a productive CO.
CPU performance in this mode can increase by 15%, although this will depend on the tasks. Whether the Core i9-13900KS, which was previously assigned a frequency of up to 6 GHz, will be released under such conditions is now unclear.

In 10 years, there will be about 70,000 satellites in Earth orbit.

About 70,000 spacecraft could be in Earth orbit by 2032. Sergey Boev, chief designer of the missile attack warning system, general director of Vympel IAC, spoke about this within the framework of the Army-2022 forum.
“The population density of space objects is increasing, which creates a significant threat of collisions. Now the United States, the EU countries, China and India are announcing the creation of their own megagroups of hundreds and even thousands of devices. According to our forecasts, within 10 years, the constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit can increase to 70,000 operating spacecraft“, – he said.
Boev noted that such a number of functioning satellites will be accompanied by an abundance of space debris, which will greatly complicate the situation.
“All this needs to be controlled. It is necessary to improve the capabilities of the domestic space control system, increase the domestic space constellation, create small-sized spacecraft and space control tools, and need the ability to exchange information with other systems“, – said Sergey Boev.

In particular, the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro have a much better in-display fingerprint scanner, the slowness of which many have complained about. We also fixed the issue with double-tap to wake up the screen, Always-On Display, auto-brightness, auto-rotate the screen, and more. Users of the new Pixels say that smartphones have simply become faster and more stable.
