   Mar 14, 2011 · In simple cases, a 32 bit processor will have a 32 bit "word" size (and pointer size). A 64 bit processor will have a 64 bit "word" size (and pointer size). There is a wikipedia article on this "processor word" concept, which details all the generic uses of the term, and the sizes for several current and historical CPU architectures.

   128. v. t. e. In computing, a word is the natural unit of data used by a particular processor design. A word is a fixed-sized datum handled as a unit by the instruction set or the hardware of the processor. The number of bits or digits [a] in a word (the word size, word width, or word length) is an important characteristic of any specific ...

   Mar 18, 2024 · In Scala, as is the case for Java, the byte is also an 8-bit signed two’s complement of an integer; though in contrast to Java, it isn’t a primitive data type but rather a full-blown object. For C and C++, the byte is an unsigned char. 4. Words. A word, instead, is a unit for data processing that’s specific to given computer architecture.

   The bits number of a processor represents the size of a word. The number of bits in a word (the word size, word width, or word length) is an important characteristic of any specific computer architecture.

   What processors use 16 bit words?

   • The first may be discussing a specific processor. Processors have been made with quite a variety of word sizes, not always a multiple of 8. The 8086 and 8087 processors used 16 bit words, and it's likely this is the machine the first author was writing about. More recent processors commonly use 32 or 64 bit words.

   How many bits are in a byte?

   • For convenience, 8 bits are usually grouped into a single block, conventionally called a byte. The next-largest named block of bits is a word. The definition and size of a word are not absolute, but vary from computer to computer. A word is the size of the most convenient block of data for the computer to deal with.

   What is a processor word?

   • In common/generic usage, a "processor word" refers to the size of a processor register. It can also refer to the size of CPU instruction, or the size of a pointer (depending on which exact CPU architecture). In simple cases, a 32 bit processor will have a 32 bit "word" size (and pointer size).

   What is a 16 bit word?

   • The capitalization and the specific sizes in the question (16 bit for WORD, on a 32 bit OS) imply something different than the generic term "processor word". In legacy Windows programming (the Win32 API), there is a macro defined called WORD, the size of which is 16 bits. This made sense when processors were 16 bit.

   How many byte is a word?

   • A word is generally made up of one or more bytes. For example, a computer may have instructions to move 64-bit (8-byte) words. A word is the natural unit of memory for a given computer design. For 8-bit microcomputers, such as the original Apples, a word is just 8 bits.

   What is a 8 bit processor?

   • Since 8 bits is a convenient number to work with it became the de facto standard. Word: The natural size with which a processor is handling data(the register size). The most common word sizes encountered today are 8, 16, 32 and 64 bits, but other sizes are possible. For examples, there were a few 36 bit machines, or even 12 bit machines.

   Sep 14, 2023 · 1 byte: mov al, 5 (low byte) or mov ah, 5 (high byte) You are correct that an address is 4 bytes for a 32 bit system or 8 bytes for a 64 bit system, but you can still load and store the value contained within those addresses. E.g. assuming you have a character array stored in esi: mov al, [esi] ; load byte pointed by esi into low byte of eax
