Best Answer

No, processor size depends on manufacturer and model. Quad-core basically means that a processor can execute 4 different things at once, and is more closely related to processing capability and not size.

The thickness of a processor is normally referred to the die thickness (very small measurements) while the form factor refers to how it physically will connect to the motherboard and thus more representative of overall shape.

What number of bits that can be processed at one time is?

The number of bits that can be processed at one time is known as a processor's word width (but other names are also used, such as the processor's bus width).The word width varies between processor models. Early processors processed 4 bit words, then 8-bit processors became common. Today's processors tend to support 16, 32 and 64 bit words. The word width is not necessarily a power of two; some processors are designed for 24-bit words, for example.

What is the most recent processor for the desktop offered by AMD that is great for gaming?

I have a amd Phenom 4 core (9350e) that I purchased for $90, and I play all the latest games with settings on high. We need to know what AMD socket you have because there is different sized slots for amd processors and even if it is the same size it does not mean it will work hence using a am2 processor in a am3 slot will fit but not work. You did say most recent and the most recent amd motherboard supports AM3+ processors witch is the fx processors but most will support am3 processors. look to be honest any modern processor will be fine for gaming even the cheaper ones, but I would suggest any AMD quad core processor running at 2ghz or more for gaming.
