When chips and programs went from 32 bit to 64 bit it was a huge leap forward, what is holding us back from going to 128bit?
In: Technology
It wasn’t really a huge leap forward. 64 bit just means you can use more memory (RAM), you can also do certain things in fewer “steps” compared to 32bit but my understanding is that that isnt too big of a deal.
A 64 bit system can have around 16 exabytes of memory. Which is about *2 billion to 500 million* times more memory than your computer has.
So there’s nothing “holding us back” per say there is just no point.
