Yes.
Actually, they both make what are known as x86-64 processors, which are processors that can run both 32-bit and 64-bit programs. Check the specifications of the processor for something like "64-bit" or "64-bit Ready" to make sure you can run both x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) programs!
The Ubuntu/Kubuntu kernel is configured to support 8 processors / cores in 32-bit and 64 processors / cores in 64-bit.
Which group of Intel processors uses a 32-bit word size and a 64 bit word size?
64 bit OSes use special set of instructions as well as 64 bit memory space which is in principle is not supported by 32 bit processors.
if 2k9 has a 64-bit installer - then it's yes or you might have 64-bit processor, but using a 32-bit OS (e.g xp 32-bit, or vista 32-bit) - then it is still possible.. hth rj
The year of 1972.
A 32 bit processor has 32 bit wide data bus while a 64 bit has 64 bit wide data bus. Address bus may or may not be 32 bit or 64 bit wide in the respective processors. To fully utilise the 64 bit data bus the programs must be written in such a way that they can use 64 bit wide data bus. A 64 bit processor can also act as 32 bit.
All Intel Core 2 processors are capable of running in both 32-bit and 64-bit mode.
64 bit computers process data in larger chunks than 32 bit computers. This means a number of things, but the big 2 are: 1) When programs are written to support 64-bit processors, those programs will generally perform faster than on a 32-bit processor of the same speed. This is partially because 32-bit computers must handle 64-bit numbers in two steps, whereas 64-bit computers only need to use one step. 2) 64-bit processors can address more memory than 32-bit processors. This means your server can have more RAM, and therefore can store more data in memory, making memory-intensive programs like databases faster.
x86-64 is 64 bit processing on 32-bit architecture,not to be confused with true 64 bit-processors like Itaniumhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64
Modern Computers have a word size of 16, 32 or 64 bits.
