minus-squareslazer2au@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 years ago Contrary to some misconceptions, these SIMD capabilities did not amount to the processor being “128-bit”, as neither the memory addresses nor the integers themselves were 128-bit, only the shared SIMD/integer registers
minus-squarehansl@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 years agoOP’s question is very vague. I would argue that the PS2 was indeed capable of “128 bits computing”, even if it isn’t technically a 128 bits computer. I’m also pretty sure the comment was tongue in cheek.
