Theoretically, a 64-bit processor can address up to 16 EB (17.2 billion GB) of RAM. Realistically, the amount is far more limited, due to current memory technologies, space considerations, and limited chipsets. Depending on the other hardware, a 64-bit processor can access between 4 GB and 128 GB.

Explain one limitation of a 16-bit processor to a 64-bit processor?

One limitation of a 16 bit processor, compared to a 64 bit processor, is computing speed. A 16 bit process can process 2 bytes (8 bits = 1 byte) of information per clock cycle. While a 64 bit processor can process 8 bytes of information per clock cycle, making the 64 bit processor four times faster than a 16 bit processor.

What is an I-64 processor architecture and what are it's advantages over Pentium processor?

It is a processor that works with 64 bit values instead of 32 bit values. The advantages are that it is much faster for operations on large 64 bit values for which a 32 bit processor would need multiple operations. This means that a 64 bit processor with the same clock speed can do more work in the same time.


How much memory can a 32- bit processor recognize?

Based on what criteria a processor is said to be some x-bit processor?

Generally, the bit size of a processor is indicated by the size of the accumulator, which is, most times but not always, the same as the internal data bus size. The 8086/8088 processor, for instance, is a 16 bit processor. The 8085 is an 8 bit processor. The 80386 is a 32 bit processor. The Q6600 Core2 Quad is a 64 bit processor. (These are just examples.)


Why segment is 64k in microprocessor?

Because the processor is a 16 bit processor, and 64k is what you can address with a 16 bit processor.

What is 5'4 x 5' in square meters?

Let's start by measuring everything in the same units, rather than some in inches and some in feet. (five feet + four inches) x (five feet) = (sixty-four inches) x (sixty inches) Now one inch is equal to 2.54 centimetres (this is one of those handy facts that's good to memorise), which means that (sixty-four inches) = (sixty-four) * (2.54cm) and (sixty inches) = (sixty inches) * (2.54cm) Further, a centimetre is 1/100 of a metre, so we write this as (sixty-four inches) = (sixty-four) * (2.54cm) = (sixty-four) * (2.54) * (1/100 metre) and (sixty inches) = (sixty inches) * (2.54cm) = (sixty) * (2.54) * (1/100 metre) So let's plug these two into our original equation, getting (five feet + four inches) x (five feet) = (sixty-four inches) x (sixty inches) = (sixty-four) * (2.54) * (1/100 metre) * (sixty) * (2.54) * (1/100 metre). All we have to do now is multiply, which gives us about 2.477 * (metre) * (metre) - a bit under two and a half square metres.
