8 bit, to 16 bit, to 32 bit, to 64 bit. Much of the focus in the computing industry seems to be "what's going to replace silicon", but what about something like 128-bit architecture? Is such a thing even possible?

Just a random question I thought of when looking into performance jumps between the different bit architectures. If there has been any research into the topic, have any of those investigations turned up any theories on possible increases in processing power?

That refers to the size of the memory bus on the CPU and determines the number of addressable locations there are in memory. so a 64 bit CPU can talk to 2^64 (18,446,744,073,709,551,616 bits, 2 zettabyte) of ram. Meaning we are not even close to needing to go with 128 bit architecture yet and will get actuall improvements in performance from other areas.
