In practice, 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit architectures are rarely identical even from the same manufacturer. Thus, a 64-bit computer may be less than or more than twice as fast as its 32-bit ...

Well, the chip had one bit in the datapath. It did not have any memory, but it did have a way to feed it 4-bit instructions, and, as you might guess, there were 16 possibilities for instructions.

Microsoft researchers claim to have developed the first 1-bit large language model with 2 billion parameters. The model, BitNet b1.58 2B4T, can run on commercial CPUs such as Apple’s M2.

Color in consumer digital video is typically recorded at a bit depth of 8 bits, with chroma subsampling measured at what’s called 4:2:0.
