32-bit processing |
Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.07 sec. |
32-bit processingRefers to programs running in a 32-bit computer. A 32-bit computer processes four bytes at a time compared with two bytes in a 16-bit computer or one byte in an 8-bit computer. Starting with the 386 chip, Intel CPUs have been built with a split personality for compatibility with earlier models. They have both 16- and 32-bit modes of operation, the 32-bit mode being the native mode with the most advanced capabilities. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Industry-standard benchmarks show the AMD Opteron processor Model 248 is
the world leader in 32-bit processing performance for 2-way servers and
its 64-bit capabilities can provide system builders with a unique
platform to customize according to their customers' needs.
Intel's Itanium 2 architecture delivers four billion times the
addressable capacity of 32-bit processing, which translates into
unmatched scalability and performance, lower total cost of ownership
(TCO) and a secure investment as scalability requirements increase over
time. Intel's
