| In ] terminology, '''word size''' ('''word length''') is the number of ]s that a ] can process at one time (the ]). Processors with many different word sizes have existed, though powers of two (8, 16, 32, 64) have predominated for many years. See ], ], ], ]. | |||

| A processor's word size is often equal to the width of its external ] though sometimes the bus is made narrower than the CPU (often half as many bits) to economise on packaging and ] costs. | |||

Redirect to:
- From a subtopic: This is a redirect from a subtopic of the target article or section.
- If the redirected subtopic could potentially have its own article in the future, then also tag the redirect with {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}.
- With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
- This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
