The IBM System/360, announced in 1964, was an extremely popular computer system with 24-bit addressing and 32-bit general registers and arithmetic. Two decades later another popular system, IBM PC/AT, started shipping with its Intel 80286 processor, also with 24-bit addressing, but with 16-bit general registers and arithmetic.
