In practice, 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit architectures are rarely identical even from the same manufacturer. Thus, a 64-bit computer may be less than or more than twice as fast as its 32-bit ...

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 ...

This article compares use cases for 8-bit and 32-bit MCUs and serves as a guide on how to choose between the two MCU architectures. Most of our 32-bit examples will focus on ARM Cortex-M devices, ...

Bott told us that while Windows 7 will have 32-bit and 64-bit versions, its eventual successor, Windows 8 (or whatever it’s called) will likely be the first Windows that’s exclusively 64-bit.

IMHO: 32 bit gaming is overrated. If you are actually able to have enough time to discern between 16 and 32 you are probably dead already and just flying around.

Making Art With 8-bit Graphics Developing 8-bit art can be harder than you have imagined, even though computers have long surpassed 8, 16, and 32-bit systems. Special programs like Adobe Illustrator ...

Designers more familiar with using general purpose 8-bit microcontrollers for those everyday motor control or industrial monitor applications are being encourage to considered performance 16- and even ...

To the 8-Bit Guy, the Pi is just a Linux computer. Other retrocomputing projects of a similar scope to this dream computer also fail: The Mega65, a project to resurrect the Commodore 65, will be ...

For a lot of retro gamers, memories of the 8-bit and 16-bit eras of gaming are partially molded by a suite of fantastic Disney games, many of which provided some of the best platforming ...
