Why not 128 bit computers?
As of 2022, there are no 128-bit computers on the market. A 128-bit processor may never occur because there is no practical reason for doubling the basic register size.

Is a 1 bit computer possible?
There are no computers or microcontrollers of any kind that are exclusively 1-bit for all registers and address buses. A 1-bit register can only store 21 different values, i.e. 0 or 1 (off or on, respectively).

Does a 128-bit processor exist?
CPUs that process 128 bits as a single unit, compared to 8, 16, 32 or 64 bits. As of 2022, there are no 128-bit computers on the market. A 128-bit processor may never occur because there is no practical reason for doubling the basic register size.
