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 ...

Remember the early 90's when we were transitioning from 16-bit to 32-bit operating systems? Some people were unimpressed, but I think most of us could see that 32-bit systems were going to solve an ...

Do you remember the jump from 8-bit to 16-bit computing in the 1980s, and the jump from 16-bit to 32-bit platforms in the 1990s? Well, here we go again. We double up again, this time leaping from ...

At Microsoft’s annual Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) in April 2005, Bill Gates predicted that 64-bit hardware, operating systems, and software would “transform the way we work and ...

It is time to start thinking about 64-bit computing with the 64-bit version of Windows Server on the horizon. Here are the top five benefits it can offer. •64-bit processors improve performance and ...

CPUs that process 32 bits as a single unit, compared to 8, 16 or 64. Although 32-bit CPUs were used in mainframes as early as the 1960s, personal computers began to migrate from 16 to 32 bits in the ...

Arm Holdings will unveil new plans for processing cores that support 64-bit computing within the next few weeks, and has already shown samples at private viewings, sources close to the company said at ...

IT is rediscovering a simple but nearly forgotten principle: Throughput and capacity are everything. It hardly matters how fast the processor is if, like a Ferrari in city traffic, it bogs down every ...

Erik Lustig's mom called him recently in a bit of a panic. She'd been in a retail store shopping for a computer and the sales guy asked her whether she wanted a 32-bit computer or a 64-bit computer, ...
