In theory, the maximum speed we can ever achieve no matter what technology we are using, is 100GHz in a die size of 10cm2. This is because of limitations imposed by the light speed (300,000km/s). So, we might not be able to see THz in microprocessors, unless start working within molecular level (atomic processors).
