I seem to recall that a Gene Amdahl startup (Commercial Data Servers?) did some work with cooling an off the shelf IBM P/390 chip when they first came out to something like -20 degrees (C) to get it to have a higher clock rate. I saw the experimental setup in their lab one time.....
But I think we're overlooking the obvious here....the chip reportedly runs at 350 Ghz *at room temperature*. That's 175 times faster than today's common chips. I dont think that it will take 10 years to get that technology into commercial use ..
