What do you mean? c is 300,000 m/s. Divide that by 4,000,000,000.
I don't know what the speed inside a chip is, but I'd guess around 40%-75%.

Given that using "extreme" cooling solutions, overclockers have reached core
frequency of 7GHz with stable operation, I'd say it's everything to do with
heat :)

Who the hell has liquid nitrogen laying around?!
(Other than my employer, that is...)

I'm sure this'll piss off the phone company, but ... I mean, they leave
those huge flasks of LN2 all over the place around here ...
Nitrogen wants to be free... ;)
* Note: I do not condone stealing liquid nitrogen from the phone
company. Bad, bad stuff... you could cause a major phone outage. They
use that stuff to keep their fiber optic lines cool.
