okay new plan gonna make a line of CPUs where each CPU family has a totally random amount of bits and never tell anybody and it's like a mystery thing

sometimes it'll go up, sometimes down. *nods* there will be no rhyme or reason. I'll call it x69 architecture.

@Nine put the word "nice" in every processor codename
Bring the first 420 bit CPU to the market and don't advertise it

@kyra ALSO HIRED
we're gonna rock the tech world, they'll never be able to stop us.

I can picture the reviews now.

"Okay so I finally got my hands on this new processor that everyone's talking about and everyone's saying it's really nice but I've tried it out for five minutes and it's slow as molasses, I mean look at this garbage. It's FINALLY loading the bios screen and-"
Bios Screen: x69-420mhz cpu
"...nice."

@Nine I said 420 bit which is different
Bit width is the size of the "word" a cpu can receive every cycle

@Nine 420 bit cpus would be able to suck in hideous amounts of data and would be difficult to engineer

Follow

@Nine making it work would be. More difficult than is worthwhile
