| data bus The bus (connections between and within the , memory, and peripherals) used to carry . Other connections are the and control signals. The width and of the data bus determine its data rate (the number of per second it can carry), which is one of the main factors determining the processing power of a computer. Most current processor designs use a 32-bit bus, meaning that 32 bits of data can be transferred at once. Some processors have an internal data bus which is wider than their external bus in order to make external connections cheaper while retaining some of the benefits in processing power of a wider bus.
