Limitations of a computer having many processors

Hi,

The processor is a group of transistors which have to connect and disconnect during a process. While they are doing so, there is the generation of heat. Having more processors in a machine than it recommended means that there will be more heat generated. High heat levels cause the processor to shrink resulting to speed limiting.
