  1. There are already single transistors available that can run at a clock rate of 0,7 THz. The only disadvantages are, that they use other materials and the IT industry doesn't have a lot of experience using them for mass production. Density Integration might also be a problem, a CPU needs of course much more transistors than just one single one. But theoretically CPUs with much higher clock rates are still possible if we use other materials for them.

  2. Luke Dupont A CPU with 800 GHz in 20 years, would you believe it now?

  3. SeanFromPVD Getting rid of Ethernet would be a very bad and very dumb idea, because the RPi3+ is already shipped with Power over Ethernet support and this is very useful for stationary devices like all sorts of monitoring devices or house control devices. PoE is a must for future Raspberry Pies. M.2 would be a nice feature but i doubt it. It requires PCIe support on the SoC side and not every SoC does support it as of today. Additional ICs that provide it will raise the price of the RPi and thus are not an option. SATA definitely won't happen because of the same reasons. It's even more unlikely because there are at least some SoCs that provide PCIe, but not SATA. Onboard WLAN and USB 3.1 is for sure. I hope they will get rid of the old power connector and use USB 3.1 or PoE to power the upcoming RPi. If they provide onboard WLAN bluetooth will be also available. They will definitely also keep the microSD Card reader. And i really hope that they will also keep the analog audio stereo jack. Maybe with Mic and Cinch Support like the ASUS tinkerboard. The missing audio jack on the Odroids is one thing i don't like of these Odroid devices.
