That's why they're working on things like quantum computing. They're getting down to the size of electrons here, and once you reach that you can't work with them anymore because uncertainty means 1's can randomly become 0's and vice versa and your effective speed will plummet as error correcting skyrockets.

I know there was talk of using photons, but I'm not certain it's practical.

More likely to improve speed they will need an entirely alternate way of creating processors than the electron-in-silicon we've been using for decades.
