My clocks still clocks one second per one second.

Is there any purpose in using these coolants? Can processors perform better or faster the colder they are?

Because for actual cooling it's shit. Becomes gaseous at a Temperature just a few Kelvins higher (at the surface of the chip). And gases have really bad heat conductivity. So it is very ineffective.

Normally to prevent the cold clock bug. Most processors wont post if it's too cold.
But, Ryzen doesn't have this problem.
Also yes.

I bet it's merely air cooled too

It's so the FX8350 they used didn't burn down the studio they were doing this in. They started with Liquid Nitrogen, then had to move to Helium because LN2 was not cold enough. While Helium is in it's condensed form (Very cold) it will flash-cool a CPU fairly well.

isn't it impossible to get reasonably higher than 4GHz without new semiconductor technologies because of the physical limitations of silicon?

like, attach the output of the fastest silicon inverter you can find to its own input... It'll oscillate at 4GHz, because the electric fields just can't reverse themselves that quickly.

>tfw still barely above 2GHz

Some parts of Pentium 4 chips were working at 7 GHz.

IBM'S zEC12 is 5.5Ghz
