Known about this for a long, long time. Carbon has much better thermal conductivity when it's molecules are arranged in certain crystalline structures than pretty much anything else available. Diamonds have very high thermal conductivity, as do certain types of carbon fiber...

Water's not bad, but short of direct-die cooling and the issues that go with it, there is no way to use water directly on a cpu core, and as soon as you put copper/silver etc. between the water and the cpu, the thermal conductivity of the metal becomes VERY important...
