I have a theory.
With my physics (or chemistry?) knowledge, if an object’s temperature is higher, it would move faster.
So, if a cpu temperature is high, data transmission can be faster, resulting in higher performance. So, instead of keeping the cpu temperature as cool as possible, maintaining at higher temperature should yield a better performance.
The object itself doesn’t move faster, but the atomic scale particles do. The kinetic energy induced by the voltage should be much higher than the by the temperature difference for the electrons. Now imagine this: where can you move faster from A to B; on a street where every pedestrian is walking without much swaying or a street where everyone is running around like headless chickens?
