Apple would need to build a 64-bit processor compatible with the ARM instruction set, a project that could take years.
FORBES: Reality Check: No, Apple Has Not Already Dumped Intel For ARM
So, Scout got upgraded from an 8-bit processor to a 32-bit unit based on Micrium, the operation system being used by NASA's Curiosity Rover for sample analysis on Mars.
Part of that growth in the notebook platform revolves around developing the processor, and AMD has just made the future happen by launching its first 64 bit processor for laptops.
The Cortex-A53 is also the world's smallest 64-bit processor.
The robots are controlled by an 8-bit Hitachi processor embedded in an oversized Lego brick called the RCX.
Multi-channel audio decoding and Philips' proprietary audio features are both supported by a powerful, high quality, Cirrus Logic 32-bit DSP processor.
Now it is up to customer demand to deliver those top-line numbers--in particular, demand for flash memory chips in advanced cell phones as well as strong sales of AMD's 64-bit Opteron processor for computer servers, due to launch on April 22.
Intel, which has dedicated 64-bit silicon in Itanium, de-emphasizes the processor's 32-bit performance, according to Nathan Brookwood, and analyst with Insight 64.
While we already have a pretty good idea of Intel's near-term processor plans, the company has now decided to give folks a glimpse a bit further into the future, laying out some its processor plans through the year 2010 at its spring analyst meeting this week.

PS2's central processor, a 128-bit microprocessor developed by Sony and Toshiba, has twice the raw number-crunching power of Intel's most advanced Pentium chip used in professional desktop computers.
AMD, is that Intel has to use software to make Itanium compatible with 32-bit programs, but this slows down the processor.
The powerful processor can output image data in 14-bit RAW format, giving advanced users total freedom to express their creative vision throughout the shooting and post-production processes.
In addition, Fujitsu (otc: FJTSY - news - people ) has designed its own chip set working with the Intel processor to raise performance and reliability for both 32-bit and 64-bit computing, Itanium's specialty.
The capabilities of the Cortex-A50 processor series allow it to seamlessly transition from a 32-bit to a 64-bit execution state, enabling today's existing applications, and provides scalability to 64-bit for mobile computing client evolution and future superphone trends.
On that day my son Callum and I engaged in some father-son bonding by swapping the faulty motherboard on the family PC - the motherboard is the bit into which you plug all the other parts of a PC - processor, graphics card, memory et cetera.
From this ad and from looking around a bit, the laptop looks like it will have a 2GHz Core Duo processor, dual 200GB HDDs, a TV tuner, 1920 x 1080 WUXGA 17-inch LCD, NVIDIA's GeForce Go GT 7600 256MB graphics, Bluetooth, WiFi, dual S-Video out, and Windows Media center.
Combining both 32-bit and 64-bit operations on the same silicon also raises the question of which execution path within the processor takes priority during dual calculations.
Its 8-bit Intel microprocessor was incredibly powerful at the time (though only a tiny fraction of contemporary processor power).
