In [[computer architecture]], '''48-bit''' [[integer (computer science)|integer]]s can represent every integer from 0 inclusive through 256 tera (2⁴⁸2<sup>48</sup> = 2.814749767×10<sup>14</sup>) bytes exclusive. A '''48-bit''' [[memory address]] can directly address every byte of 256 terabytes of storage. '''48-bit''' can refer to any other [[data#Uses of data in computing|data]] unit that consumes 48 [[bit]]s (6 [[octet (computing)|octets]]) in width. Examples include 48-bit [[Central processing unit|CPU]] and [[Arithmetic logic unit|ALU]] [[computer architecture|architecture]]s are those that are based on [[processor register|register]]s, [[address bus]]es, or [[Bus (computing)|data bus]]es of that size.
