 | | 16-bit processors have been almost entirely supplanted in the personal computer industry, but remain in use in a wide variety of embedded applications. |
 | | In computer architecture, 16-bit is an adjective used to describe integers, memory addresses or other data units that are at most 16 bits (2 octets) wide, or to describe CPU and ALU architectures based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size. |
 | | In an unsigned representation, these values are the integers between 0 and 65535; using two's complement, possible values range from -32768 to 32767. |
