sentences:  In either case, the precision of each operation is determined by the precision of the hardware operations used to perform each step of the processing and not the resolution of the input data.For example, on x86 processors, floating-point operations are performed with single or double precision and fixed-point operations at 16-, 32- or 64-bit resolution.Consequently, all processing performed on Intel-based hardware will be performed with these constraints regardless of the source format.
