Computer overclockers have been doing this for years...no new whizz bang technology here...They're called Vapo-Chill rigs...

"Electronics for new weapons systems, as well as chips in future computers, will generate five to 10 times more heat than chips in conventional electronic products"

nope, Vcore is dropping as the procees decrease in size, most cpu's will feature multiple cores to run multiple threads simultaneously...

Yea the Vcore is dropping a little bit but now you have to cool 2 chips instead of 1 with the same surface area.

I have a Vapochill and a newer unit. The newer unit cools my chip to minus 45 c. First time I've ever seen it mentioned in FR. ;)

True...OC'ers have been doing this for years. What's also been happening for years is the systems leak and coolant+cpu+electricity=BANG! (expensive fixes) :-)... I still don't think they've really come up with a truly leak proof liquid cooling system yet...
