I've never heard it mentioned before and I think that if it was a real possibility some processor producers would have jumped into it already instead of allowing Moore's Law to be bent recently and most likely broken in the near future. I hear a lot more talk of quantum computers and I think there are already practical projects put in place. This is only my uninformed view but I guess if there is a breakthrough in quantum computing it will render 128-bit processors obsolete even before they become commercially available.
