Neat. I wonder if that makes Rowhammer more likely to occur.

Probably. Hotter usually means closer to not working for semiconductors.
Possibly, although hotter fundamentally means more thermal noise, which might actually reduce correlations / ability to communicate effectively between adjacent circuits.
Think of it as SNR (signal-noise-ratio) -- increasing temperature increases thermal noise (there are other kinds), and with the same signal, it should actually reduce the efficiency of the side channel.
But it brings up a good question, I wonder if anyone has studied this...
