Researchers Say New Chip Breaks Speed Record
What happens when you take a modern CPU + cryogenic test station + liquid helium? You get one insanely fast chip (now if I can get my hands on one)

I am not sure about you, but I was just asking my self this morning what am I to do with all this cryogenic gear lying around? Well, the NYTimes has reported on a great use for all that stuff I used to freeze road kill with. I can make me a super duper insanely unbelievably fast processor! Yay!
That is great news for me, I was getting backed up on road kill in my garage and boy was it starting to stink! *lol* :)
Anyways.....
"At 500 gigahertz, the technology is 250 times faster than chips in today's cellphones, which operate at 2 gigahertz. At room temperature, the chips operate at 350 gigahertz, far faster than other chips in commercial use today."
