Hi

I was thinking about the advancements in the technology for both the hardware and the OS.

With the enhancements in the technology we are surely reaching a stage where beyond a certain level the work of the processor can be same however large the clock speed may be. At some point the processing and final output will depend on the input and output speed of the peripherals.

I want to ask that what will be the speed of processing after which the output generation of a process is governed by the hardware performance.

Have we reached such a state.

Is such a state possible. If yes/no why ?
