PowerFC vs Stock ECU processor speed ?

What is the stock computer's processor speed? I always thought it to be a 16bit computer????

What is the processor strength of the Apex'i Power FC ? Is there more than one model ?

There is a Power Fc for sale on this forum claimed to be 64bit and the seller stating the older model PowerFC is a 32bit.............. To my understanding they are ALL still 16bit ?!@#$%

Help.

The 64 bit is BS. I believe the PowerFC uses a 16-bit processor. The '93-95 RX-7's have an 8-bit processor, and I believe the later 96+ up Japanese cars got 16-bit stock ECU's - of course, they won't work on US cars, major differences besides just the ECU.

Easiest thing is just to find out what the code number is on the case and see if it matches up. There are a number of people that have been trying to sell PowerFC's that are designed for '96+ cars - they WILL NOT work on any US-spec car.
