I think I found what you were thinking of here.

<numid>By default, numbers supplied as arguments to i18n calls are
formatted into localized form. If the number is supposed to be a
numeric identifier instead, like a port number, use this tag to signal
numeric-id environment.

while I am not sure that has actual implications for bits, I now
changed the string to use numid:

+    ui->bitsLabel->setText(i18nc("@label %1 is the CPU bit width
(e.g. 32 or 64)",
+                                 "<numid>%1</numid>-bit", bits));

I also added some context to what %1 in the RAM string looks like:

+                             ? i18nc("@label %1 is the formatted
amount of system memory (e.g. 7,7 GiB)",
+                                     "%1 of RAM",
KGlobal::locale()->formatByteSize(totalRam))
