Line 64: :: On x86 and x86-64 architectures, most compilers interpret "long double" as 80-bit x87 "extended precision", even when sizeof(long double) is 16 due to padding to align to ABI requirements. --[[User:Delirium\|Delirium]] ([[User talk:Delirium\|talk]]) 05:35, 8 March 2009 (UTC) :::If a current 64 bit CPU did a "quadruple precision" the number would be 256 BIT, unless it follows IEEE 754 standards, which seriously need to be updated which were with the new IEEE 754r which now includes 128 BIT numbers <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures\|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Trentc\|Trentc]] ([[User talk:Trentc\|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Trentc\|contribs]]) 20:51, 27 June 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
