   It's a really BIG number ...

   But there SHOULD be a few 256/512-bit types in ye
   olde library  :-)

   Now CPUs ... maybe 128-bit IS what future-lookers
   need to immediately switch to. Haven't heard many
   complaints about 64-bit chips, yet, but doesn't
   hurt to plan ahead. Circuitry can be made SO small
   now that the extra stuff for 128 all through may
   not be such a burden.

   OR ... are 'CPUs' even bulk of The Future ?
   Somehow I see "AI" - implemented on large
   distributed systems of diverse composition,
   likely even some 'quantum' thrown in - being
   the coming thing. They can emulate old CPUs.
   Individual users, well, 99.5% of what they run
   actually runs 'cloud' over 6-G and they just
   need enough chip to do the pretty graphics.
