If computer clocks max out somewhere around 5GHz, how is it possible for 100Gbit internet to exist? How does the computer possibly transfer that much data per second?

You confuse 3 separate things. 1. You confuse the CPU frequency with internet bandwidth. They are not related in any way A Personal Computer with a 5ghz CPU will not be able to process a stream of 100gbit of data, however it can monitor, and allow a passthrough of such a large data stream. You can have a VPN server, an Antivirus server, a Adblocker server setup using a PC with 5ghz CPU that allows such a large flow of data to pass through. 2. A computer may have multiple CPUs, tens, hundreds, even thousands of CPUs all working together. 3. You don’t need a computer to allow hundreds of gigabits of data pass through. I have a business in an apartment building with at least 100 PCs + other devices, and most PCs have 2.gGps cards and all are provided with 2.5gbps connection. All the internet is handled by 2 fancy switches, each with 48 lan connections and 2x50Gbps QSFP28 modules and 2 routers. No computer (PC)needed for providing such incredible speeds.
