Saturn, reading your last posts, it is obvious that you are not familiar with the Kryotech systems.

Saturn Re <<cooling for a 6 percent gain in performance is absurd.>>

Strongly disagree. The performance gain is 750 MHz to 1000 MHz. That can be well worth it depending on your needs and the application you are running. It can reduce the FEA time from 10 days to 8 days, for example.

Re <to reduce the thermal noise of electronic systems, and for this application, cooling boosts the system performance by several orders of magnitude>

Improvements of 1000 times (several orders of magnitude)? Hmmm

Re <<since the cost of cooling and maintenance is extremely high.>>

The cost of cooling is less than the difference in cost between a 800 and 1000 MHz system (assuming there existed a 1000 MHz system).

Also compressors and the whole refrigeration industry is extremely mature and I would suspect all the parts that Kryotech is using is off the shelf, so I do not necessarily see a reliability issue.

The concerns regarding CTE mismatches and thermal fatigue are just designs issues and they can be dealt with.
