This article will explain in detail what the 32-bit machine refers to. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it for you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

A 32-bit machine means that the CPU of a computer can process 32-bit binary data at the same time. The CPU of a 32-bit computer can handle up to 32-bit data, that is, 4 bytes of data at a time. For example, its EAX register is 32-bit. Of course, 32-bit computers can usually handle 16-bit and 8-bit data.

A 32-bit machine means that the CPU of a computer can process 32-bit binary data at the same time.

The number of digits in the computer refers to the maximum number of digits that CPU can handle at a time. The CPU of a 32-bit computer can handle up to 32 bits of data, or 4 bytes, at a time, while 64-bit CPU can handle 64 bits, or 8 bytes of data at a time.

The CPU of a 32-bit computer can handle up to 32-bit data at a time. For example, its EAX register is 32-bit. Of course, 32-bit computers can usually handle 16-bit and 8-bit data. When Intel upgraded from 16-bit 286 to 386, in order to be compatible with 16-bit systems, it first introduced 386SX, which has a 32-bit internal budget and 16-bit external data transfer. Until after 386DX, all CPU are 32-bit both internally and externally.

In a computer, the relationship between "bit" and "Byte", KB, MB and TB is that 8 bits equals one byte, that is, 8 bits equal to 1 byte. A 32-bit processor processes 4Byte (32bit) every time, and a 64-bit processor processes 8Byte (64bit) every time.

If we edit 128-bit instructions according to 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit units: the old 16-bit processor, such as Intel 80286 CPU, needs 8 instructions, 32-bit CPU needs 4 instructions, and 64-bit CPU needs only two instructions. Obviously, under the same working frequency, 64-bit CPU will be faster than 16-bit and 32-bit.

This is the end of what the 32-bit machine refers to. I hope the above content can be helpful to you and learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
