At some point we'll run out of atoms in the solar system for the physical memory ;)
(a large virtual address space is of course useful on its own, for instance never reusing a memory address, but we're not even close at scratching the 64-bit barrier - e.g. AFAIK x86-64 CPUs have are limited to 48 bits virtual and 52 bits physical address range).
- sounds 2y agoYes, it was 48 bits virtual but Intel is starting to introduce SKUs with support for 57 bits of virtual address space: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_5-level_paging https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_5-level_paging
