or at least 128 bit video game consoles

like 80s and 90s was all about doubling up those bits, but then what we get to 64 and just stop? fuckin boring as hell. give me more bits

we need to go back to 48 bit computers. 64 is just too many, and 48 bit computers are capable of delivering 25% better battery life. that's more important to me, op.

it was never really about "how big a number can i store" or "how much memory can i address", it's more like "how wide are my address/data buses"

that would be cool so we could run 2 64bit apps at the same time instead of the speculative and unsafe multithreading we use today.
