In a nutshell: Intel has unveiled the latest revision of its pared-down X86S instruction set architecture. Version 1.2 takes the trimming trend further by axing multiple 16-bit and 32-bit features. It ...

Of course, Apple hopped on the 64-bit bandwagon back in June 2003 when it announced the Power Macintosh G5. This week's Mac.Ars asks why 64-bit computing matters and what Apple needs to do with its 64 ...

I've waited quite some time to take a look at x86-64, because I wasn't too enthused about it when it was first announced. But the more I've read about it, the more I've come around, and at this point ...

The move from 32 bits to 64 bits won't be easy -- and without backward-compatibility, you're really stuck I remember when Windows moved from 16-bit computing to 32 bits. I had one client who kept ...

Unlike most areas of the technology business, 64-bit computing has somehow remained immune to the forces of commodity competition. Most 64-bit systems have historically been tied to proprietary ...

We’ve often thought that it must be harder than ever to learn about computers. Every year, there’s more to learn, so instead of making the gentle slope from college mainframe, to Commodore 64, to IBM ...

Following are the client versions of Windows 11. All Windows 11 operating systems are 64 bits, which support both 32-bit and 64-bit applications, but not 16-bit applications. See 64-bit computing.

One challenge posed by the steady advancement of computer hardware and software design is how to maintain reasonable continuity with the existing state of technology. Fantastic leaps forward may be ...
