I'm not sure, not sure at all, but this is starting to sound a little bit like bull.

Bull? I like bulls. They remind me of cows overdosing on testosterone.

Very long instruction word (VLIW) CPUs are also a thing. They where 256 bit wide 10 years ago. The downside is that you need to recompile a programm for this architecture to take advantage of it.

Hmm, I think I've read something about that. Honestly, compiling something specific to the processor isn't too bad as long as it's effective. It does take a lot of effort though, especially while trying to design the processor itself.

A friend mentioned something about a 72 bit processor and I stumbled across this post and this is quite interesting. Schyken is there any update on your 72 bit ARM CPU???
