Most are 4 1/2 inches thick. 3 1/2 studs with 1/2 inch drywall on each side. There is usually no reason to use wider studs.

Why do houses in hot places have thick walls?

for mud huts -- the sun heat penetrates thin walls-- thicker walls keep it cooler inside.Before heat from the outside can work its way to the inside of a thick wall, the temperature drops on the outside and the direction of heat transfer reverses. If the wall is thick enough the interior temperature will remain constant and cool on a hot day without using any energy.
