In "computer speak" a word is a specific amount of storage. The exact size of a word varies from machine to machine, however. If you read that your system has an 8-bit word, then it means that any time you see "word" you can think of 8 bits (and if you see "double word" or "quad word" you can think 16 bits or 32 bits, respectively).

What is a eight bites called?
8 bits is caled a byte 4 bytes is a 32 bit word 8 bytes is a 64 bit word
What is 8-bit word size is called?
Byte
Is a 8 bit word size is called a byte?
YES
According to word size how many instruction in 8085?
The 8085 is an 8 bit processor, so its word length is 8 bits.
How many bytes are used to store a 64 bit number?
how many bytes are there in a 64-bit machine? Another Answer: It takes 8 bytes to store a 64 bit number.
What is the difference between byte and word?
one octet (8-bit byte or word) so 8 bytes = 1 word
How many bytes are in the word question?
A Word is of 3 Types. 1. Half Word- It is 16 bit or 1 byte long 2. Double Word or DWORD- It is 32 Bit or 2 byte long 3. Quad Word or QWORD- it is 64 bit or 8 byte long
What is the largest hexadecimal number that can be held in one word?
The answer depends on the number of binary digits (BITS) in the word. The largest 8-BIT hexadecimal word will be 16^8 -1 = 4,294,967,295.Nowadays, 32 and 64 bit words are common: a 64 bit word could hold a number greater than 1.1*10^77 while a 128 bit word (not yet in common use) would exceed 1.3*10^154 or a Googol^1.5
What is the difference between character and bit?
character is an 8bit word also known as 1 byte. where as bit is referred to single bit among those 8 bit in a 1 byte (or character).
What do you mean by 8 bit?
An 8 bit microprocessor is a 'microprocessor' which only has an 8 bit wide databus.
What is the basic addressable unit of memory?
That depends on the computer architecture. Most modern architectures address memory down to the 8-bit byte, however some architectures (often supercomputers) only address to the memory word which may be 64 bits or more long. Early computer architectures had various sizes of addressable memory unit: individual bit, decimal digit, 10-digit signed decimal word, 12-digit/character decimal word, 5-bit character, 6-bit character, 12-bit word, 9-bit quarterword, 18-bit halfword, 36-bit word, 20-bit halfword, 40-bit word, 60-bit word, etc.
How many Terabytes of memory would a 40 bit address bus be able to address if the system word length was 8bits 16bits 32bits?
1TB is 240 bytes. It follows that a 40 bit address bus can address 1TB. Since 1TB is 1TB regardless of the system's word size, a 40 bit address bus can address 1TB on a computer with an 8 bit, a 16 bit, a 32 bit, or any other word size.
