    Yep, I just summarized by giving some of the more popular ones.

    Wikipedia lists some really oddball ones - 25 bit, 26 bit (from IBM!), and even 31 bit!

    That last was a crippled 32-bit computer made for selling into the Soviet bloc when selling them 32-bit CPUs was prohibited due to military applications.

    Yes, I fell down a Wiki rabbit hole double-checking my facts before replying.
