This tech has been around for years. Even Intel has done testing with it. What seperates this from Cathars is the cups in the base are optimizing the impingment effect. Other than that is should be pretty well known tech.

Jet impingement was introduced in the 1950's through research in Japan for the effective cooling of thermo-nuclear reactors approaching melt-down. Jet impingement was found back then to be the most effective form of thermal energy transfer.

Multiple jet impingement ideas have been around in various forms since then, with the earliest dating back to the 1960's that I'm aware of, and certainly before I was born ('69).

As jaydee116 points out above, where the Cascade differs, or rather, extends that JI concept is with the cupping.

A much better picture of the 'shower power' waterblock...

The nozzle plate looks very complex to machine, they must have some sort of stamped metal process.
