45000000000 < 18446744073709551615

To the right is the highest unsigned integer that can be represented by 64 bits. This is indeed a shocking development.

Bits go up by powers of two... and when you look at the numbers in this thread, you understand how much of a progress going from 32 bits to 64 bits is... O_O

We have enough bits when we can use a single integer to indicate ones position in our universe with precision of 0.1 mm.


Then we can make better spore.

Game consoles (Wii, xbox, PS [I think]) already are 128 bit I'm pretty sure.

"Game consoles (Wii, xbox, PS [I think]) already are 128 bit I'm pretty sure."

I'm not really sure what "128-bit" would mean in that situation.

I mean, they certainly don't have more than 2^64 bytes of RAM...

@Snc
It's for the Bus and register sizes, snc.
It lets them do computations on larger numbers in fewer FLOPs.

2^128 is just the /maximum/ memory allowed when you can address larger numbers in a single register.
