Twisted Minds win Call of Duty: Warzone tournament at Esports World Cup 2025 Following Thrilling Finale
Twisted Minds has won the Call of Duty: Warzone tournament at the Esports World Cup 2025, lifting the trophy after an epic 10-game final. The win is the first major tournament victory for all three players on the roster, despite each of them having storied careers. The victory is the crowning moment the Twisted Minds players have been working towards for years, with this being the first LAN win for all three members of the team, despite each of them having been at the top of the Call of Duty: Warzone scene since its inception. Aydan 'Aydan' Conrad, Riley 'zSmit' Smith, and Benjamin 'Almond' Rosendahl all placed on the podium at the Esports World Cup 2024 across two different teams, before building a new roster that has finally seen them take the final step. Twisted Minds entered the event via the North American Qualifier as the fourth seed from the region. They had a strong showing in the group stage, finishing in third place and securing a spot in the final without having to play in the last chance stage. The Saudi Arabian organisation came alive in the final, securing five top four finishes in the first six games to put them on match point. However, with teams targeting both them and who reached match point at the same time, it wasn't until game 10 that Twisted Minds would secure the win they needed to lift the trophy. Twisted Minds win the $250,000 first place prize, but for these three players, the opportunity to finally call themselves champions will be just as sweet. 'It's my first LAN victory, you know, it means a lot to me,' said Aydan 'Aydan' Conrad. 'To have people in the stands watching, rooting for us, shout out to Twisted Minds and to everyone here, because without y'all, this is not possible without you guys. Thank you for making this the event it was.' Riley 'zSmit' Smith takes home the Sony MVP award, thanks to his in-game prowess and successful plays throughout the tournament, winning $10,000 and the MVP medal as a testament to his contributions. 'This is your goal, you start playing five years ago to win on the big stage, that's where you want to be.' said Riley 'zSmit' Smith. 'I know right now this is the best team I've ever played with.' With the win Twisted Minds have earned 1,000 Club Championship points, which sends them into fifth place in the overall standings. They now sit just 200 points behind the side they stopped from gaining the full 1,000 points in Warzone. With Twisted Minds still competing in five more titles in the next two weeks of the Esports World Cup 2025, they could make a late charge for the Club Championship title. Week five at the Esports World Cup 2025 takes place until August 10 with finals in EA Sports FC 25.

Japan's petabit: The world's fastest internet speed that can download 67 million songs in a second
Japan has set a new world record for the fastest internet speed ever achieved at 1.02 petabits per second. About 16 million times faster than India's average internet speed of 63.55 Mbps, this high internet speed could, in theory, download the entire Netflix library or about 67 million songs in under a second read more Japan researchers say they've achieved 1.02 petabits per second, this speed could, in theory, download the entire Netflix catalogue in under a second. Large files like 150GB video games, such as Call of Duty: Warzone, could be downloaded in the blink of an eye. AI generated representative image Imagine being able to download the entire Netflix library in under a second—or stream millions of 8K videos at the same time, without buffering. It may sound unbelievable, but Japan just gave the world a real glimpse of that possibility. Researchers in the country recently set a new world record for the fastest internet speed ever achieved: 1.02 petabits per second. To put that into perspective, it's around 16 million times faster than India's average internet speed of 63.55 Mbps and 3.5 million times faster than US. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD But what exactly does this mean for everyday users? And how did Japan manage to achieve such mind-boggling speeds? Let's take a closer look. How fast is 1.02 Petabits per second? To understand just how fast this is: a petabit equals one million gigabits. So when researchers say they've achieved 1.02 petabits per second, they mean a connection capable of transferring over 100,000 HD movies in a single second. This speed could, in theory, download the entire Netflix catalogue in under a second. Large files like 150GB video games, such as Call of Duty: Warzone, could be downloaded in the blink of an eye. The numbers only get wilder. As per Gagadget, the complete English Wikipedia takes up around 100GB. At 1.02 petabits per second, that's enough speed to download it 10,000 times in just one second. Even music platforms can't keep up with this scale. According to Spotify, a minute of audio takes up roughly 1MB. With Japan's new speed, you could theoretically download 67 million songs in a second—that's more than 1,27,000 years of continuous music. Japanese researchers recently set a new world record for the fastest internet speed ever achieved: 1.02 petabits per second. Image for Representation/Reuters While these examples are fun to imagine, the real impact lies in what this could mean for the future of technology. From cloud computing to generative AI, autonomous vehicles, and real-time translation, all of these technologies rely on massive amounts of data flowing quickly and seamlessly. With speeds like this, data centres across continents could function as if they were part of the same local network, enabling truly instantaneous, global AI operations. How did Japan achieve this feat? The record-breaking speed was achieved by Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in partnership with Sumitomo Electric and European collaborators. The team successfully transmitted data over a distance of more than 1,800 kilometres, roughly the stretch from Delhi to Goa, using an advanced, specially designed fibre-optic cable. Unlike regular fibre that carries data through a single light path, this new cable uses 19 separate cores packed into the same standard-sized fibre. Researchers describe it as a '19-lane superhighway' for internet traffic, a design that boosts capacity while still working with existing infrastructure. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The record-breaking speed was achieved by Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in partnership with Sumitomo Electric and European collaborators. AI-generated representative image The optical fibre cable was developed by Sumitomo Electric, while the data transmission system was built by NICT in collaboration with their international research team. To overcome the usual issues of signal weakening over long distances, the researchers used sophisticated amplification systems. These boosted the signals across multiple light wavelengths using advanced signal processing techniques. The test setup involved 19 fibre loops, each 86.1 km long, through which the signal was passed 21 times. This brought the total transmission length to 1,808 km, during which 180 individual data streams were sent at record-breaking speed and stability. When will we use this in everyday life? Unfortunately, not anytime soon. Right now, consumer internet isn't even close to reaching terabit speeds, let alone petabit. Most home connections still operate in the range of megabits per second. That said, this breakthrough hasn't gone unnoticed. Telecom companies, data centre operators, and governments around the world are paying close attention. What Japan has achieved could become the blueprint for the next generation of internet infrastructure, including undersea cables, national broadband backbones, and even future 6G networks. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD It may take years for such speeds to trickle down to everyday users, but the direction is clear: we're heading toward a world where high-capacity, lightning-fast internet is the norm, not the exception.

World's fastest internet speed of 1.02 million GB/second is achieved by...., not US, UK, China, India, can download entire Netflix library in just...
A group of scientists in Japan has set a new world record by achieving an internet speed of 1.02 petabytes per second that's 1.02 million GB every second! To understand how fast this is: It is 3.5 times faster than the average internet speed in the U.S. And over 16 million times faster than the average internet speed in India, which is around 63.55 Mbps. At this lightning-fast speed, you could download the entire Netflix library in just one second, or a massive video game like Call of Duty: Warzone (150 GB) instantly which is faster than you can blink! Who developed this technology? This breakthrough came from scientists at Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). They used cutting-edge fiber optic cables along with advanced signal processing techniques to make it possible. This new speed is said to be 100,000 times faster than most home internet connections around the world. In fact, it's powerful enough to download more than 10,000 ultra HD 4K movies in just one second! How Can this speed help the world? This new internet technology can change many industries in a big way, especially: Artificial Intelligence (AI) Internet of Things (IoT) Smart Cities Online Education Remote Healthcare With super-fast and reliable data transfer, tasks that now take hours could be done in seconds. It will help cities become smarter, patients get better care from far away, and students learn faster online. What this super-fast internet could do For example, hospitals could share huge amounts of patient information instantly. This means doctors could perform surgeries from far away or figure out what's wrong with you much quicker. In smart cities, this tech would make traffic flow smoother, help save energy, and make security systems even better. Plus, if we can send information across the world faster, businesses would get a lot more done. Big hurdles to clear Bringing this super-fast internet to everyone will not be as easy, as we will need to spend a lot of money to upgrade our current internet systems with new kinds of cables and equipment. Making it affordable for everyday people and getting everyone to agree on worldwide standards will also be tough. Japan's speedy tech A report from May this year said that Japan claims to have created a device that's five times faster than 5G internet. Think about it: in India, we're still getting 5G set up in many places, and Japan has already built what they say is the world's first 6G device! Right now, it's just a test model. But they say it can send data at over 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps) even from more than 300 feet away. That's supposedly 20 times faster than today's 5G!
