I believe that the improvement in hardware will stop when it requires particles to travel faster than light. Probably a couple thousand petaflops is all we will ever get out of any single CPU made with known materials (and I am extrapolating that we will somehow invent techniques to make something oscillate that fast.) Of course, we will also have to invent storage that can keep up.
