There is a theoretical limit on how much negentropy is required to erase a bit. However, it depends on temperature. Unless the expansion of the universe has a limit, the universe will get arbitrarily cold, and computers could be arbitrarily efficient. Theoretically, you could make a finite amount of energy last an infinite number of computations.

I take it’s a lower limit? Your statement might be misinterpreted with those unfamiliar with the mathematical usage of the term “limit”.
