Misc
editThe 4 bit by 4 bit multiplier figure looks flawed - namely, the ordering of the bits of Multiplicand B is reversed when they enter 2nd and 3rd adders.

- The fixed version is a 4 bit multiplier, it was reverted for the time being. Once it is reverted I suggest we do an article rewrite because it doesn't really match the style of other pages, and its kind of hard to read.Deadcellplus (talk) 20:26, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Multiply Instruction Bit Sizes
edit| Microprocessor | 8 x 8 = 16 | 16 x 16 = 32 | 32 x 16 = 32 | 32 x 32 = 32 | 32 x 32 = 64 | 64 x 64 = 64 | 64 x 64 = 128 |

- Note: ARM Cortex-A53/A57 (ARMv8-A) requires an extra instruction to create the 128-bit result.
I'm considering adding this table to the first section. It still needs further expansion. Thoughts? • Sbmeirow • Talk • 01:21, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Redundant gate in 2×2 bit multiplier schematic
editThe AND in the second column generates (A0∧B1)∧(A1∧B0): the AND of all four inputs, the only way to get a product of 8 or higher, perfect for C3. Anding in any other AND of inputs, including the A1∧B1 shown, changes nothing. 188.109.124.100 (talk) 16:45, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- Not just that, the bottom-most AND gate (generating A1^B1) is also unneeded. The XOR generating C2 can be done as (A0∧B1)⊕(A1∧B0). D0SBoots (talk) 10:16, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
