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.


Computers with a larger word size can process less data in the same amount of time than computers with a smaller word size?

Processors with a smaller word size can process more data during each processor cycle.


Which group of Intel processors use a 32-bit word size and a 64-bit word size?

Intel Pentium processors have a 32-bit word, whereas Core 2 and later processors have a 64-bit word. Prior to the Core 2, Intel manufactured some high-end Xeon processors for the server and workstation market that also had a 64-bit word length. Complicating the picture a bit, for many modern microprocessors, is the presence of special long-word-length registers and operations to support multimedia processing (among other compute-intensive operations). For example, SSE2 (Streaming SIMD Extensions-2) support in current microprocessors from Intel and AMD incorporates a number of 128-bit registers and instructions, significantly increasing the computing power of these processors. *The processors that use and/or have used both a 32-bit word size and a 64-bit word size are the Celeron, and Xeon, and they are considered to be in the Pentium class. Xeons currently do not make the processors with both anymore, so the more current Xeons are not considered Pentiums, but older ones are.
