Computer Science for IGCSE & O level - Data Representation (Section 13 - No. 9)

What is the significance of 64-bit and 32-bit architectures in terms of the number of bits that the CPU can process at once?
32-bit processes 64 bits at once; 64-bit processes 32 bits.
64-bit processes 64 bits at once; 32-bit processes 32 bits.
Both process data in 16-bit chunks
The numbers represent the size of the hard drive.

Explanation

The numbers represent the number of bits the processor handles at once, which affects processing speed and memory capacity.
