Ebusini le-computer, ibhasi lemininingwane- elibizwa nangokuthi ibhasi leprosesa, ibhasi elibheke phambili, ibhasi elingaphambili noma ibhasi elingemuva-liyiqembu lamacingo kagesi asetshenziselwa ukuthumela ulwazi (idatha) phakathi kwezingxenye ezimbili noma ngaphezulu. Inqubo ye-Intel emgqeni wamanje we-Macs, isibonelo, isebenzisa ibhasi le-64-bit yedatha ukuxhuma inqubo kwimemori yayo.
Ibhasi ledatha linemikhakha eminingi echazayo, kodwa enye ebaluleke kunazo zonke ububanzi bayo. Ubanzi bebhasi yedatha kubhekisela kwinani lezinsimbi (izingcingo zombane) ezakha ibhasi. Ububanzi bemibhasi evamile buhlanganisa 1-, 4-, 8-, 16-, 32-, no-64-bit.
Lapho abakhiqizi bebhekisela kwinani lezinkinobho okusetshenziselwa ukucubungula, njengokuthi "Le khompyutha isebenzisa inqubo ye-64-bit," ibhekisela ebubanzi bebhasi yedatha yangaphambili, ibhasi elixhuma iprosesa kwimemori yayo eyinhloko. Ezinye izinhlobo zebhasi yedatha ezisetshenziswe kumakhompyutha zihlanganisa ibhasi elingemuva, elixhuma umseshi kwimemori yokugcina imemori.
Ibhasi lemininingwane lilawulwa umlawuli webhasi olawula ijubane kolwazi phakathi kwezingxenye. Ngokuvamile, konke kudinga ukuhamba ngejubane elifanayo ngaphakathi kwikhompyutha futhi akukho okungahamba ngokushesha kunayo i-CPU. Abalawuli bebhasi bagcina izinto zihamba ngesivinini esifanayo.
Ama-Macs asekuqaleni asebenzisa ibhasi ledatha le-16-bit; i-Macintosh yasekuqaleni isebenzisa i-processor ye-Motorola 68000. Ama-Macs amasha asebenzisa amabhasi angu-32 noma ama-64-bit.
Izinhlobo zeBhasi
Ibhasi ledatha lingasebenza njengebhayisikili noma ibhasi elifanayo . Amanethiwekhi ahamba ngebhasi afana ne- USB ne- FireWire -asebenzisa ucingo olulodwa kokubili ukuthumela nokuthola ulwazi phakathi kwezingxenye. Ukuxhumana okufana nebhasi-like SCSI-sebenzisa izintambo eziningi ukuxhumana phakathi kwezingxenye. Lawo mabhasi angase abe ngaphakathi kwiprosesa noma yangaphandle , ngokuphathelene nesigaba esinikeziwe esixhunyiwe.
