For years, people blamed the Zimbabwe Football Association for not turning soccer into a huge money-making business. Around the world, soccer has become a billion-dollar industry that makes players rich and changes lives for coaches, officials, and communities where teams play. Zimbabwe has fallen behind because ZIFA leaders never created plans to match how other countries make money from the sport.
ZIFA last made a real plan back in 2014, which seems hard to believe. The group just drifted along with no direction and became known for begging the government and businesses for money at the last minute. Things started to change when FIFA stepped in and appointed the Normalisation Committee, led by Lincoln Mutasa, to run things for over a...
ASUS Republic of Gamers has started selling their ROG G700 desktop computers with brand-new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards. These powerful machines first appeared at CES 2025, and you can buy them right away from places like Best Buy or straight from ASUS. You can pick exactly which graphics card works best for your needs - choose between the RTX 5080, RTX 5070TI, or RTX 5070 depending on what games you play or work you do.
These G700 computers handle serious gaming and hard work tasks with ease. They come with Intel Core Ultra chips and those new NVIDIA graphics cards we talked about. Memory goes up to 64 GB of DDR5 RAM running at speeds up to 6000MHz. The computers also use super-fast PCIe Gen 5 storage to load...
Microsoft just released its first 'Cloud PC' called the Windows 365 Link. This small mini-computer streams desktops from the Windows 365 Cloud PC service. The device costs about 450 US dollars (419 euros) in Germany. It targets businesses that want an easy way to use cloud computing safely.
The Windows 365 Link measures just 120 x 120 x 30 mm but packs many connection options. Thanks to its HDMI port and DisplayPort, you can hook up two 4K screens. The device also comes with four USB 3.2 ports, one of which is Type-C. It has an Ethernet port for the internet and a standard headphone jack.
You'll find good wireless tech inside, with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 support for connecting various accessories. The hardware includes an Intel...
G.SKILL just released a brand new memory kit that breaks records. They made a 128GB DDR5-8000 kit using two huge 64GB parts. No one has ever made a 64GB memory stick run this fast before! The speed and size together make this memory extra special. These sticks run at CL44-58-58 timings and work great with AMD X870 systems. They also work with AMD's EXPO tech, which helps you make your computer run even faster if you want to tweak it.
G.SKILL didn't stop there - they also made a super-fast 64GB DDR5-9000 kit that uses two 32GB parts. This memory works best with Intel Z890 systems and uses Intel's XMP tech for easy speed boosts. They tested it with the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K chip and the ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 APEX board to make sure it...
Intel plans to team up with TSMC through a new joint venture that will run Intel's chip factories. Reports say TSMC will grab a 20 percent stake, but they haven't worked out all the details about who will control what. Behind the scenes, the U.S. government has pushed both companies toward this deal because Intel's manufacturing side hasn't made money lately despite major cash investments.
Some reports link these money troubles to why the former CEO, Pat Gelsinger, left his position. The current CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, stated clearly that Intel aims to become a top-notch chip maker again. TSMC's joining Intel's production efforts looks like a smart move, but nobody knows exactly how other big tech names like AMD, Broadcom, and Nvidia might...
Tech giants IBM and Tokyo Electron have renewed their groundbreaking semiconductor research partnership for another five years. The collaboration aims to develop cutting-edge chip technologies that can support the massive computational demands of generative AI.

Tech innovators at MangoBoost have blown past industry benchmarks with their latest AI performance breakthrough. Using 32 AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs spread across four server nodes, the company shattered previous MLPerf Inference records for the Llama2-70B model.
Their breakthrough MLOps software, Mango LLMBoost, crushed competitor performance metrics by delivering 103,182 tokens per second in offline scenarios. More impressively, they achieved this at a dramatically lower cost compared to NVIDIA's top-tier H100 GPUs. AMD chips cost $15,000-$17,000 versus NVIDIA's $32,000-$40,000 price tag.
Cost-conscious tech departments will appreciate the massive savings. Compared to alternative systems, MangoBoost delivers approximately 2.8 times...
