so i guess the next bit after 64 cpu is qu-bit, quantum bit
Quantum computers won't displace traditional computers. There's certain niche use-cases for which quantum computers can become wildly faster in the future. But for most calculations we do today, they're just unreliable. So, they'll mostly coexist.
In other words like GPUs. GPUs suck ass at complex calculations. They however, work great for a large number of easy calculations, which is what is needed for graphics processing.
