China: 12B SMS Messages in One Week

I'm guessing that this constitutes a new world record -- Chinese mobile handset users sent and received 12 billion short messages during the Chinese New Year holiday, which lasted from January 28 to February 4, reports Oriental Morning Post.

Eleven billion SMS were sent during the 2005 Chinese New Year. Sina is reporting that China Unicom accounted for 3.1 billion SMS during the holiday, up 20 percent from 2005.

The Oriental Morning Post report said that Shanghai handset users sent and received over 400 million SMS on New Year's Eve, with China Mobile subsidiary Shanghai Mobile accounting for 290 million SMS.

AI-Driven Data Center Liquid Cooling Demand

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and hyperscale cloud computing is fundamentally reshaping data center infrastructure, and liquid cooling is emerging as an indispensable solution. As traditional air-cooled systems reach their physical limits, the IT industry is under pressure to adopt more efficient thermal management strategies to meet growing demands, while complying with stringent environmental regulations. Liquid Cooling Market Development The latest ABI Research analysis reveals momentum in liquid cooling adoption. Installations are forecast to quadruple between 2023 and 2030. The market will reach $3.7 billion in value by the decade's end, with a CAGR of 22 percent. The urgency behind these numbers becomes clear when examining energy metrics: liquid cooling systems demonstrate 40 percent greater energy efficiency when compared to conventional air-cooling architectures, while simultaneously enabling ~300-500 percent increases in computational density per rac...
