We could clock it higher but the heat would increase exponentially. Higher temperature means higher resistance which generates even more heat so it's an exponential process.
What we've done until now is just shrink transistors so we could use lower currents and thus generate less heat so we could bump up the frequency.
But with superconductors we won't have any resistance at all and thus there won't be extra heat generated with higher frequency.
It's only at this point that the frequency will be limited by the speed of electrons (not speed of light since electrons actually move at 75% the speed of light due to having mass).
It's expected that electrons moving at highest speeds will reach hundreds of exahertz clockspeed.
So we'd go from ~6*10^9 hertz processors to ~6*10*10^17 hertz processors
which is 10 billion times faster than processors are now. And remember that this is ACTUAL speed. Not "multiple cores" trash we've been using for speedups in the last decade.
