![]() ![]() Even your 10 or 12-year-old computer would be running a 64-bit processor, contrary to what you might have been thinking. In today’s time, 32-bit processors have become nearly obsolete. ![]() You’ll not be able to notice much difference in everyday usage, except that you are the one who likes to multi-task between large applications. Even if the data is more than 8 bytes, the 64-bit processor would require less time than the other one. In the case of a 64-bit CPU, the whole data, if less than 8 bytes, could be processed in a single go. So, if the size of the data to be processed is greater than 4 bytes, it would require the CPU to go for another cycle to process the remaining data. Moreover, a 32-bit CPU can process 4 bytes of data in one CPU cycle as 8 bits are equal to 1 byte. A grand figure when to compared to 4 GB memory that could be accessed by its older 32-bit counterpart. In the case of 64-bit, the register can store 2^64 values which can be tied to 16EB (exabytes) of RAM. ![]()
