Processor architecture
- x86
- A 32-bit architecture that
processes multiple instructions
using a 32-bit address space.
- An x86 processor uses
fewer registers than an x64
processor.
- Registers are
storage areas used
by the CPU when
performing
calculations.
- An x86 processor can
support a 32-bit
operating system.
- A 32-bit architecture that
processes multiple instructions
using a 32-bit address space.
- x64
- This 64-bit architecture adds
additional registers specifically
for instructions that use a 64-bit
address space.
- The additional registers allow
the CPU to process instructions
much faster than x86.
- The x64 processor is
backward compatible with
the x86 processor.
- An x64 processor can
support 32-bit and 64-bit
operating systems.
- This 64-bit architecture adds
additional registers specifically
for instructions that use a 64-bit
address space.
