"Android manufacturers steps to faster 64-bit" - Nutech

Android manufacturers will quickly switch to 64-bit as new 64-bit chips can run Android than current 32-bit chips.

That quickly said Tom Lantzsch ARM, the company behind the same chip architecture, opposite Cnet .

ARM does not produce chips, but the technology developed a chip. Thus, it is possible, for example Qualcomm chip manufacturer uses the ARM architecture for the chips.

Such chip architectures to 32-bit or 64-bit is. At present, most smartphones use a 32-bit chip. The 64-bit architecture is often used by desktops and laptops. Such devices handle heavier tasks and there is 64-bit more suitable.

According Lantzsch ARMs can new 64-bit chip architecture 32-bit code run faster, more efficient and more stable. The Android software is still 32-bit. “That means better battery life, responsiveness and features,” said Lantzsch.

“The first 64-bit smartphones appear before the end of this year,” continues Lantzsch. It is expected that include Intel and Qualcomm soon their first 64-bit chips will release, which can be used by manufacturers.

To really use the full potential of 64-bit is still necessary to optimize the Android software for 64-bit

64-bit:. how does it work and what did you get it?
