How come processors run faster under cold conditions and slower under hot conditions?
I always assumed resitance would play an important part in this and if a processor is made up of some type of semiconductor then resistance would decrease with temperature thus allowing more current to flow and therefore the processor would be faster. But this doesn't seem to be the case.
