Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Today’s computers can have a register size of ____ (Select All That Apply.)
A
32 bits
B
64 bits
C
96 bits
D
128 bits
E
16 bits
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A 128-bit register can store 2128 (over 3.40 × 1038) different values. The range of integer values that can be stored in 128 bits depends on the integer representation used.

Detailed explanation-2: -As of 2022, there are no 128-bit computers on the market. A 128-bit processor may never occur because there is no practical reason for doubling the basic register size.

Detailed explanation-3: -On the MIPS, a register holds 32 bits. There are many registers in the processor, but only some of them are visible in assembly language. The others are used by the processor in carrying out its operations. A load operation copies a bit pattern from memory into a register.

Detailed explanation-4: -x86-64 has a total of 6 segment registers: CS, SS, DS, ES, FS, and GS .
