Will the speed of light be a limit to clock cycles? Is it already? (Say, for how far the RAM is from the CPU, copper traces, etc) I ask this because a fraction of a thousandth of a millionth of a light-second is in the ballpark of just a few centimeters.

@mytech6779 Thanks, that cleared things up. If it was a problem for chip design it would have already been long ago then, but it's a bit mind-boggling to imagine a CPU cycle "propagating" through the chip and computer like water pressure through pipes rather than happening "simultaneously".

@igorthelight sorry to disappoint you but quantum entanglement specifically cannot be used to transfer information. Not even gravity travels faster than light, nothing does. The only real workaround is to bend spacetime like an Alcubierre Drive does.
