CPUs that process 64 bits as a single unit, compared to 8, 16 or 32. Today's desktop and laptop computers are mostly 64-bit machines; however, there are countless 32-bit, 16-bit and 8-bit ...

I keep reading here and elsewhere about how a 64 bit processor doesn't offer any inherently better performance over a 32 bit one, and that makes sense to me. Except for the case of 64 bit floating ...

Sixty-four-bit computing is here and available to systems builders now. Although recent advances in 32-bit processors have been impressive, the idea of data coursing through 64-bit wide registers at ...
