[edit] 256-bit

The article says that no such processors exist, and discusses in detail how you'd need a computer the size of the universe for such an architecture to be necessary. Thus I think the subject is a little bit premature, and WP:NOT a crystal ball. An anon removed the prod tag, claiming there are 256-bit devices (despite the text of the article), so if somebody provides a source to correct me on this point obviouslly I'll withdraw the nomination. For now, delete. -- SCZenz 06:52, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

• There may not be 256-bit processors, but there are certainly 256-bit busses on high-end video cards (see for example [1]). I don't know that we need a separate article at this time just for them, though. —Lamentation :( 07:29, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete; violates WP:NOT and probably WP:NOR and WP:V as well. It's an article about practically nothing; 256-bit is theoretically possible (gosh, really?), 64-bit handles everything we need right now, and that's about all it says. RGTraynor 08:11, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, fails Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and WP:V. --Coredesat talk 08:24, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, and it messes up the N-Bit template too. --DaveG12345 09:19, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, although allow re-creation at a future date if the content is different than present, and 256-bit processors or a system using 256-bit archetechture - or a games console - are created (although this seems unlikely for the forseeable future in computing terms, i.e. 5+ years) TheJC ^Talk_{Contributions} 17:24, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• 'Delete, its creator should read Wikipedia:NOT. --HolyRomanEmperor 19:52, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
