=== Hardware support ===
There is little to no hardware support for
<br />
* [[8-bit|8-bit architecture]] (statistical extrapolation since it would take 1/8 of the entire memory just to store 1 octuple-precision numeral so it would be impractical) – 32 separate packets of information (at least) in order to transport this across the main data bus▼
==Processing Statistics==
Since a octuple percision numeral takes up 32 bytes of storage, the requirements in-order to transport this piece of data are as follows.
▲* [[8-bit|8-bit architecture]]
* [[16-bit|x16 architecture]] – 16 separate packets of information (at least) in order to transport this across the main data bus
* [[x86|x86 architecture]] – 8 separate packets of information (at least) in order to transport this across the main data bus
* [[x86-64|x64 architecture]] – 4 separate packets of information (at least) in order to transport this across the main data bus
