Following my article a few days ago about sub-zero cooling using a water chiller I have received some correspondence in regard to the statement I made about cryogenic cooling in relation to processor speed.
Because there is a lot of information and mis-information about and there are several threads around where some knowledgeable people are quoting facts that are not quite correct, I thought this article on the future cooling requirements of computers in relation to the CMOS design would very enlightening to many and to most of us who are in this absorbing and challenging hobby.

and another very interesting article about computing in the near future;
