ARM saw the need for energy-efficient 64-bit processors and started working new designs long before announcing its new ARMv8-A architecture. Fast forward 10 years, PC sales are in decline and most ...

Intel has released a whitepaper outlining a way to simplify its CPU architectures by removing legacy 16-bit and 32-bit support, therefore making them 64-bit only. Intel believes this change will ...

While the latest versions of a 64-bit operating system can drastically increase a processor’s capabilities, the real jump in power comes from software designed with this architecture in mind.

I guess this is a real thing? https://www.neowin.net/news/intel-w...sed-64-bit-only-cpu-architecture-called-x86s/ I guess so... here's the white paper on Intel's site ...

"In offering the world’s first 64-bit ARM architecture processor, we harmonize the network with cloud computing and environmental responsibility. Our next-generation of multicore SoCs will ...

SPARC, short for Scalable Processor Architecture, defined some of the ... bits but preserved backward compatibility. While having 64 bit registers, legacy 32 bit instructions operated identically ...

Operating systems (OS) are the intermediary between computer hardware and software, an essential piece of any digital device. Much like an orchestra conductor, they ensure harmonious communication ...

The x86-S whitepaper provides an extensive list of the changes brought by the new architecture to the classic x86 instruction set. The 64-bit only ISA removes ring 1 and ring 2 from CPU protection ...
