X32, X64 & X86 processors



Are You Keened to know about x32, x64 and x86 ??
OK ..... i tell u all about it..

Our machine, 'Computer' consists a processor which access and address the data in bytes.
now how-much it sends or retrieves, it totally depends on  architecture or/and operating system.there are some registers in the machine, with the help of whom,  the purpose is served.
32-bit refers to the number of bits (the smallest unit of information on a machine)
that can be processed or transmitted in parallel, or the number of bits used for single element in a data format.
The term when used in conjunction with a microprocessor indicates the width of the registers, a special high-speed storage area within the CPU.
 
so, A 32-bit microprocessor can process data and memory addresses that are represented by 32 bits. and 64-bit therefore refers to a processor with registers that store 64-bit numbers.
 

x86 :  x86 is a CPU architecture. Originally this code referred to Intel's x86 series of CPUs.
          These days, x86 usually refers to the 32 bit version of the hardware architecture,
          although it occasionally is used in reference to the x86 processors, regardless of their 
         'bit size'.
          And not all 32-bit processors are x86. There are some non x86 32-bit processors.
          as depicted in 32 bit section.
