Will There Be a Windows 10 (128-bit)

In this video, we take a look at whether there will be a Windows 10 (128-bit) operating system coming to us soon. We'll also look at how beneficial a 128-bit OS would be, 64-bit computer limitations and computer trends as well.

30 seconds in and im almost falling asleep. that voice so relaxing.

[ChrisBradel]

This is the chillest video I've seen in a while. Love it.

[novakk]

You can add ASMR to the title of the video.

[Duncan]

Just casually uploads after 2 years hahaha. Welcome back.

[kevindickey]

Welcome back. I wish I had found you before I built my first PC. Unfortunately I learned a few things the hard way over half a dozen builds.

Your videos are really quite good. I hope you continue with your channel and build it back up. No need to confine them only to PC repairs - you are good at this. You speak in clear, well-thought-out, declarative sentences and your presentation is always well-organized. Now no more two-year absences!

[philh]

THANK YOU! Soft spoken, sensible explanation by a gentle man, WITHOUT some loud mouth yank rambling on incessantly

[jamescrowther]

This is an extremely well made video, great presentation quality!

[JonaWilliamson]

I'd vaguely wondered for a while, why I'd never heard of 128-bit architecture yet. I'm glad this is the video if found to explain it.

[MrJfortun]

It's good to see you posting again!

[dutchman]

Thank you for existing! I just like how you can say such interesting facts by such a soothing voice!

[stevemoza]

What a soothing voice. It's comparable with the late Bob Ross soothing godlike voice. Subscribed.

[yashmore]

Welcome Back Man And I can't Thankyou Enough 2 years Ago I Build A PC Just Because Of You And Yeah Thanks For the Info In This Video Cool✌️😋

[LudwigvanBeethoven]

I enjoyed this a lot. What a calm voice

[mikhwanese]

I like this man's speed of how he says those words

[citizenearth]

I remember watching your channel showing us how to build a pc years ago. You back for good?

[deliriumtoohigh]

i can meditate with you voice. soo calm

[TheGeezzer]

Good explanation of the different bits and -pieces- bits.

[ethanbeachem]

love the softspoken nice pesonality you just earnd a sub

I would like to add something to this. Technically, many CPUs today are KINDA already 128 bit, but not really, from what I understand.
What I mean is that some internal parts of the CPU can be seen as more than 64 bit.

For one thing, when the CPU is communicating with the RAM, it does so over what's called a "bus". Which is basically a bunch of wires that run parallel, where each wire holds and sends 1 bit. So a 64-bit Bus is made of 64 (microscopic) wires that send each bit to and from the CPU and RAM. If I'm correct, modern CPUs (2021 as I write this) only have 64-bit "address and data buses" for requesting information from the RAM. So the amount of bytes that can be accessed by the CPU is limited by the "numerical capacity" of a 64-bit bus. For 32-bit buses, the "numerical capacity" is approx. 4 billion, hence the 4GB limit. The capacity for 64-bit buses is *18 quintillion*, which is WAY bigger. And explains what was said in the video about 64-bit computers not having RAM limit issues until the far future. So CPU manufacturers would also need to double the size of the data and address buses in order to access more data.

SIDE NOTE: Of course, it could be the case that the address bus could be 64-bit and the data bus could be 128-bit, which would allow you to request 2 pieces of 64-bit data information. But I don't know if this is the case for modern CPU and RAM. But this bit is very nuanced information most people aren't really concerned about, but it is somewhat related to my next point.

So this last part of what I wanted to say is really why I am making this long comment.
Your CPU may only have 64-bit RAM access right now, but inside the CPU, there are actually many higher-bit operations taking place. Albeit, they are "64-bit based" operations.
For very complex operations which require doing multiple similar operations, like physics, rendering, or other geometry-based operations. The CPU can do these similar operations all at the same time, compared to doing one part after the other. So for example, if you had multiple pairs of numbers that needed to be added together (which probably happens all the time in a computer), you would need to do each addition, one after the other, in sequence. But you could save a lot of time by doing all the additions at once, in parallel. Doing this requires memory units inside the CPU called "registers" to be big enough to hold multiple pairs of numbers. Normally, CPUs would have 64-bit registers, but technically, modern CPUs actually have 128-bit, 256-bit, and 512-bit registers which allow you to hold multiple pieces of data so they can all be processed AT ONCE, rather than in sequence. For the purpose of performance. But yet, we are still advertizing our computers as 64-bit.

But that is simply because we still can only send data to/from RAM in 64-bit chunks. Also, the 128/256/512 -bit registers I've mentioned are still thought of as basically "groups" of the normal 64-bit registers. So we are still working under that 64-bit numerical limit, but the super-sized registers give us a glimpse of what It's like to have a 128-bit machine, possibly.

So for the most part, an operating system's "bit rating" is probably gonna be defined by the bus size that RAM and CPUs support. And by the time we reach true 128-bit systems, the purpose will probably be for having things like 128-bit floats that can hold even bigger numbers with even larger amounts of precision.

But considering all this information might make you wonder about what the future of computers might be like. Will computers still be given a single "bit rating" like now?
Or will CPUs be advertised with multiple bit ratings for the different aspects of the hardware?
Like: "64-bit memory access" and "256/64-bit arithmetic" ( "256/64" means that there are 256-bit registers, but you can only do 64-bit arithmetic with them, so you can do 4 different 64-bit operations at once on those registers).

Ok, my comment is done!

Don't worry, 640GB ram will be enough for everything
I wonder why the consoles in the 90s was 64bit like Atari jaguar and nintendo 64
