TYPES OF PROCESSORS

The majority of Microsoft. Processors embedded microcontroller. The most common type of second The process is common desktop processors such as Intel Pentium or AMD Athlon processors together. Too low to effectively use the server high - end, such as Sun SPARC, IBM Power, Itanium or Intel.

Micro-history. Processors and microcontrollers in the size of the boss "of 8 bits, 16 bits, 32 bits and 64 bits are common It does not mean that other sizes are not available, some microcontroller. (To design embedded chips) can come from other "non standard" size of 4 bits, 12 bits, 18 bits or 24 bits represents the number of bits. Physical memory can be addressed directly by the CPU also means the number Bit can be read by a read / write operations. In some cases they are different, such as 8-bit micro Many bus and 8-bit address bus of 16 bits.

* Processor 8-bit is read / write 1 byte at a time and can directly address 256 bytes.
* 16 bit processors can read / write 2 bytes at a time and can handle 65,536 bytes (64 KB).
* 32 bit processors can read / write 4 bytes at a time and can manage 4294967295 bytes (4 gigabytes).
* 64 - bit processors can read / write 8 bytes at a time and can stay. 18.446.744.073.709.551.616 bytes (16 exabytes).
