The higher the number of bits (or word size) a processor can manipulate at one time, the faster the processing speed.

a. true
b. false

B. False.

Explanation:

Computer processor are the processing unit in the computer system. It fetches data meant for processing, execute the operation to process the data and sends out the output.

The processor comes in various speed specifications in Hertz and bits per second. The word size specification determines how a processor represent a word. There are two range of word size. They are 32 and 64 bits

A 64 bit processor, represent a single word with 64 bits while a 32 bit processor, with 32 bits.

In other words, the number of the word size does not specify the speed of the processor.
