If you mean 64-bit, it's a processor with twice the data calculation capability at twice the speed. Certain software designed for 64-bit operating systems will not function in a 32-bit environment, but 32-bit programs are run in their own space in a 64-bit environment. 64-bit is much more powerful and can support memory greater than 3.72G (which is the 32-bit maximum). Having a 64-bit processor doesn't necessarily mean that you need to run a 64-bit OS, but it does stand to reason since you would have the capability.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Dual core technology uses 64 bit processor or 32 bit processor?
Both. The Intel Core Duo was a 32-bit dual-core processor. The Intel Core 2 Duo is a 64-bit processor.
Is a Q6600 processor 32 bit or 64 bit?
Q6600 is a 64 bit processor, but it can execute in 16 and 32 bit modes.
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.
Why is 8088 processor described as a 16-bit processor?
because its word length is 16 bit
What are the compatibility issues of the 32bit and 64bit processor?
what are the compitibility issues of 32-bit and 64-bit processor
How many bits 386SX processor?
The 386SX is a 32 bit processor running on a 16 bit bus.
How many bits 386DX processor?
The 386DX is a 32 bit processor running on a 32 bit bus.
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 do you increase from a 32 bit processor to a 64 bit processor on a Dell dimensions 4100?
You have to buy a processor that fits that motherboard. Look in to dell they may have upgrades for it.
How do you install Linux on a 64-bit processor?
Installing Linux on a 64-bit processor is no different than installing it on a 32-bit processor. Especially on systems that offer both a 32-bit and 64-bit version, the difference is totally transparent, and the install identical.
