I don't know why I am even commenting on this.  I'll probably regret it.

My comment wasn't that "it will never work" (although that is true of 
course).  Merely that Leo's was yet another idiotic post.  And forgive me, 
but Leo and Albert Einstein are perhaps not in the same league are they.

And if the new Porsche GT3 was available for $3000, I'd buy that too.  Dream 
on.

And that's nitrogen.  Liquid hydrogen cooled would be even worse.  Let alone 
the safety implications.

You forgot the word "badly".    ..... system is a non-conductive fluid 
cooled with liquid nitrogen, which worked BADLY.

Although its incredibly cold, the fluid can't conduct the heat away fast 
enough and the whole system becomes unstable in a matter of minutes.

I'm afraid I can't see that working, even if it was cost effective, which it 
would never be.

I am not sure we will ever see 1 TeraHertz (i.e. 1000 GigaHertz) processors 
with the current silicon-based technology.  Perhaps with 0.1 micron 
components it may be possible, but I doubt it.  And anyway, that's nearly 10 
times better than the current state-of-the-art.
