“bits” were largely marketing nonsense in the fifth and later gens. Though the N64 actually had a 64 bit cpu (unlike the Jaguar) but the Dreamcast in the following gen used a 32 bit cpu. 32/64 bit isn’t as meaningful a distinction as it was in earlier gens
8 bit -> 16 bit - idk more bits -> CDs
32 -> 64 (CDs is N64 erasure!)
It’s some nerd binary shit, so it doubles each time!
