The bit depth of the processor and its clock speed?
Hello everyone, there is a question about processors, or rather about this slide
That is the question: the bit width of the processor depends on the clock frequency? I mean, I mean that the bitness of a specific processor is involved - permanent either 32 or 64 bits, but the higher the clock speed the faster the processor, i.e. the bit displays a kind of clock speed as if "being attached" to it - ie, I wanted to ask whether for example, does a 32-bit processor run at the same frequency as a 64-bit processor? Am I right?"

Here's the question: does the processor's bit rate depend on the clock frequency?
No, it doesn't. bit depth is a circuit design feature of the implementation. Some processors can switch from one mode to another and be" simultaneously " both 16 and 32 and 64-bit (regular intel/amd x86 processors are proof of this).
T.e I mean that the very bit depth of a particular processor is involved-a constant of either 32 or 64 bits, but the higher the faster the processor runs - i.e., the bit depth displays a kind of clock frequency as if "binding" to it - i.e., I wanted to ask whether, for example, a 32-bit processor can run at the same frequency as a 64-bit one? Am I right?"
Frequency and bit depth are perpendicular concepts. That is, there may well be processors that are 64-bit and run at low (tens of hertz) and 8-bit, running at gigahertz.
But if you look at the history intel / AMD processors, then the bit rate increases with increasing frequency. But this is just a performance chase.
P.S. And on the slide about the bit depth it is written a little strange. Modern processors support sse commands, which allow processing 512 bits per approach. But that doesn't make them 512-bit.
