They promoted it as a 64-bit machine, but in actuality it is not.
"Regarding the N64 being the first true 64-bit game system released for home use, that's a correct statement. Yes, the Atari Jaguar was in stores well before the N64. However, it used a 16-bit CPU, a separate 32-bit RISC processor, and a 16-bit DSP to handle the system's processing chores. While 16+32+16 does add up to 64, those three processors combined do not add up to the power available in a single, true 64-bit model like that used in the N64. "
