    Uhm..no? They didnt show a CPU running at -269 or -270C. No CMOS anywhere
    Plus the the chip wasnt near absolute zero for sure. However they used the helium instead of LN2 etc as a more functional and controlled cooling (Plus helium is an inert gas unlike nitrogen). Its not just puring it down into a pot like with OC here. 350Ghz at room. 500Ghz cooled. But overdramatizing sells.

    Here is also the actual article from NYtimes. And without the fake pic.

    Its a 500Ghz radio transmitter basicly.

    Ofcourse you could just use field effect transistors....
