Soooo.... with all of the technological advancements and the ability to miniaturize physical technological objects, when is the next generation of processors, 128-Bit processors, gonna be released?
That technology would probably get rid of the word "lag" from our dictionary.
Actually, lag would return as soon as a real working holodeck was created.
It wouldn't
There are multiple causes for lag that have nothing to do with the CPU and these would remain. I am sure the same thing was said about 16 bit, 32 bit, and 64 bit CPUs. But lag remains. If the application is waiting on a slow hard drive, network connection, or video system a faster CPU will not help.
More bits doesn't automatically mean better performance. In many cases the opposite is true.
The large majority of applications wouldn't benefit from a 128 bit CPU. There are many 32 bit applications that will never be ported to 64 bit because the benefits just aren't there. There is little point in 128 bits when 64 bit systems haven't yet reached their full potential. 128 bits would be a benefit if an application was doing many such calculations but few do. Most applications don't even need 64 bit calculations.
Modern CPUs have instructions that can manipulate 128 bit, 256 bit, and even 512 bit data for applications that have a use for them. Most don't. It would not be proper to call these CPUs 128 bit.
128 bit CPUs do exist for special purposes. But they don't run Windows or any other popular OS.
Wouldn't that also require exponential raise in transistor number ?
Transistor count - Wikipedia
Most software is still 32-bit, creating 64-bit is more difficult, even-though it provides more security, reliability and performance. 5 years ago the only 64-bit AV was Windows Defender, not much has changed, majority is still only 64-bit compatible. No wonder, those AVs tend to cause BSOD, like recently.
