  • 64-bit PCs have been around for a while, but even 64-bit PHONES are starting to show up! So what's the advantage versus a 32-bit device??

    32 or 64 bit is the size of the internal registers, which get processed at every instruction and not the size of the address bus nor the external data bus. 64 bit definitely offers more processing power, also depending on the instructions the processor offers, the kind of task and how the software is optimized for it.

    Sorry pal, but you misunderstand completely the concept of 32 bit or 64 bit for a microprocessor. When we talk about 32 bit x 64 bit we are talking about the size of the data bus not the size of the address bus. If we were talking about the size of the address bus your video would be correct because more bits in the address bus means more addressable memory. But when we talk about the size of the data bus we are really talking about the amount or the size of information which the microprocessor could work within a single unit of time.
    In theory more information being processed at the same time could mean more processing power but only if you take advantage of that extra processing power and only if you really need too. For example text information are stored usually using only 8 bits or 16 bits so a 64 bits processor wont offer much advantage over a 32 bits processor for text processing.
    For Audio processing, video processing and 3D Graphics were the processor must deal with big numbers at highest speed possible a 64 bits processor could offer a really big speed increase but only if the program is running 64 bit code and is optimized to work with 64 bits. If you have a 64 bits processor running a 32 bits video player for example probably you won´t get any increment in speed at all.
    In general it is a good idea to upgrade to 64 bits cellphone or computer because the microprocessor manufactures are reaching the maximum speed limit in terms of clock speed (specified in Giga Hertz GHz) so the only way to keep increasing processing speed is by growing the data bus size and the number of processors in the same chip. So eventually the software companies will follow the silicon chip manufactures and will create software optimized for 64 bits microprocessors but it only will happen if there is users with 64 bits gear to use that software.

      Well, in fairness, the "big thing" about 64-bit processors is the addressing. But they only have 56 bits worth of addressing, and it still requires PAE, Yes, they do have a 64-bit data bus and 64-bit registers. But, even in "long mode," it requires a special prefix to access the registers as 64-bit. Data operations still default to 32-bit.

I only read the first line where you say he's wrong. Once again, i didn't read yours, you might be right, Linus might be wrong, BUT. Linus does know what he's talking about, he wouldn't make a video about this if he didn't know. Not flaming, just saying, i haven't encountered a situation so far where he has said something wrong, and I've watched like 90% of his videos.

    Awesome explanation, and as a software developer who has written a bit of prototype kernel code (assembly), I don't say that lightly. 😀 Kudos e.g. for mentioning PAE (Physical Address Extensions, introduced with the Pentium Pro, which allowed 32-bit processors to address up to 64GB RAM), and that most of the early performance gains were more from the increased number of general-purpose registers etc. than actual 64-bit computations.
    I have no corrections per se, but the 16 billion gigabytes figure at least does not apply to current desktop or server processors and may be slightly misleading. Current x86-64 (originally AMD64) processors - this hasn't changed since 2014 - only have 48 address lanes, and can therefore only address a "measly" 256 terabytes of RAM. The hard limit for future x86-64 processors - without introducing a new page table layout, that is - is 52 address lanes or 4 petabytes of RAM.

I do have one example, though, that I found out by doing a comparison on my computer (a recent Alienware model) Adobe Premiere Elements 9 32-bit vs. Premiere 15 64-bit to produce a half-hour AVCHD file. Same hardware, same movie, but the former took around four hours to encode and the latter almost exactly ten minutes. The difference is so stark for this particular application that I'm still slightly stunned. There is the possibility that I'm under an illusion that I'm comparing apples to apples, so I welcome others' thoughts.

      According to this test (which was on a system with 4GB of RAM) 64-bit can increase speed quite a bit, but only in a couple things like openssl and disk transaction. Graphics were the same, CPU intensive stuff was generally faster on 64-bit with the notable exception of Apache. The reason is that x86_64 has twice as many general purpose registers and they're twice as large, so it can be significantly faster for some workloads. So there is some truth to 64-bit being faster, but until we get to 4GB I don't think it'll be too useful.

Even the GameCube, Wii, PS3, and 360 were far closer to Macs (before the switch to Intel) because they were using IBM made PowerPC processors.

    The bit width of a processor is not only (usually) translated to the address bus, it's also the width of internal CPU registers and, together with it, the operations on the registers. As a simple example, in C/C++ the "long long int" type (I know, it sounds more like the beginning of a fairy tale) is 64 bits, no matter what target platform you compile the code to. If the target is 32 bits, an operation over the variable has to be done in parts in machine code, while in 64 bits it can be done with a single operation.

    It is not just about memory, it allows a CPU to deal with more bits of any given time, if you remember 8bit machines you needed quite a bit of instructions to deal with integers that needed to be more than 255 unsigned, when 16bits came along it let you do away with the amount of instructions needed and that meant clock cycles, also they were clocked higher so even more gain in performance, then 32bit came and things really moved on now 64bit gives us even more, face recognition and other stuf, multiple integer calculations in one instruction, it will be sometime before 128bit or 256bit is needed for the consumer market so they will remain as they are at the moment. Main reasons for 64bit is to process more bits at any given time just like always, and a CPU that is 64bit may not mean it's address bus is 64bit, just remember the 6502, the Z80 that was a 8bit cpu but its address bus was 16bit 64K max.

    Well, it does have one other performance increasing part, using longs as their native if you work with big numbers. And also, you get int128_t using the same trick as longs in 32bit does (and fancy 256bit stuff using AVX). Allowing you to work with even bigger numberes without the need to use any fancy big number libraries. A major drawback, 64bit pointers take up twice the amount of ram. Which is why many applications that is pointer heavy tend to increase their memory usage by 50-80%. Hench why we are stuck with many low memory usings applications still being complied in 32bit mode.

    But damn apple does the right thing slowly moving over to 64-bit. its gonna be a perfectly smooth transition for iOS users. When i get my first 64bit android phone there'll probably be no support for 64bit apps.

      Just like Windows. There's hardly any 64bit software outside of pro content creation type stuff, yet on the Mac damn near everything is 64bit. The only 32bit apps on any of my Macs are... Adobe and Microsoft made.

      Vaati Reborn Yes, because the benefits are more than just addressing more memory. It means you can dump old legacy crap from your code and use the cleaner, more streamlined x64 code. x86 is still full of crap from the 16bit era. Hell, stuff from 8bit!

      @TalesOfWar Před 9 lety +1

      Vaati Reborn Running stuff like Photoshop on a 32bit system is an extremely frustrating situation. Especially if you're working with things like RAW files. Constant "out of memory" warnings.

      @zeroangelmk1 Před 9 lety

      TalesOfWar Not only that, but a few 64-bit programs are designed to take advantage of 64-bit processing. Photoshop is an example of that, as are many 3D rendering (for films/animations) and other professional multimedia production programs. Normal 64-bit desktop programs often don't take advantage of 64-bit and run just as fast as their 32-bit counterparts. The downside to 64-bit processing is that a 64-bit OS will consume at least 50% more RAM (at startup) than a 32-bit OS would. So I wouldnt put a 64-bit OS on a low to midrange smartphone just yet. In fact, even high-end smartphones in the near future should just be able to get by with PAE (a 32-bit processor function that lets it address more than 4GB of memory).

      Android (and iOS for that matter) applications run on a runtime, not directly on the hardware, so there will be no transition.

    CZcams has recommended me again this video. Well, I've learned some computer engineering, and I was studying the Intel manual of Intel Architectures of 32 and 64 bits...
    And believe me. It's HELL. It's just not that simple. The implementation at scary low levels is very complex. Though I'm beginning to understand it better.

      LenChewbacca SATA II is totally fine. It's not bottlenecking anything. Not even bottlenecking an SSD because you wouldn't see transfer speeds going over SATA II specs when loading game files. And normal HDD just barely uses half of the available bandwidth of the SATA II interface.

    Well this aged well... here we are, 2 years after MS announced that they will stop releasing 32-bit builds. And it has been a very long time for me at least to see a 32-bit windows or linux still in use in the wild (appart from embedded systems).
