When your CPU is at 0 degrees Kelvin, nothing unpredictable can happen.

>cool CPU to 0 Kelvin

>CPU stops working

yeah I guess you're right

CPUs work faster with better cooling.
So at 0K they are infinitely fast.

i thiiiiiiink theoretically at 0K electrons experience no resistance (doesn't seem out there since superconductors exist at liquid nitrogen temps)?
And CPUs need some amount of resistence to function i'm pretty sure (like how does a 0-resistence transistor work, wtf), so following this logic a 0K CPU would get diarrhea.
