The "word length" of a CPU refers to the number of bits it can process in a single instruction. In modern CPUs, the word length can vary depending on the architecture and design of the processor. Historically, CPUs had word lengths of 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits, but with advancements in technology, word lengths have increased.

As of the time of my last update in January 2022, most modern CPUs commonly have word lengths of 32 or 64 bits. Some specialized processors may have different word lengths tailored to specific tasks or applications. However, for general-purpose computing in desktops, laptops, and servers, 64-bit CPUs are prevalent. These CPUs can process data in 64-bit chunks, which allows for larger memory addressing and more complex calculations compared to 32-bit CPUs.
