What does iPhone 5s' 64-bit processor actually do?
*Please Read*
I don't want everyone just quickly responding with "It's pointless!"
I have heard people say before that this 64-bit chip is rather meaningless now but in the future it might mean something good. What exactly does that mean? I mean, you'd think Apple wouldn't advertise the fact that it has a 64-bit chip if it was completely and utterly useless!
So, what is 64-bit? What does it do? How will it benefit the iPhone? How long do we have to wait until we see a difference?
The main benefit of 64 bit - it allows you to use more then 4GB of RAM.
But the iPhone 5S has less then 4GB, which is why people are saying it's not that great. Several years from now phones will have over 4GB of RAM.
- Which is faster? A6 processor from apple, or 1.4 quad core Exynos? I want to know which one is faster, the appale iphone 5's processor (A6 ARM from apple) or the galaxy S' (1.4 quad core Exynos)?
- What is the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit in the iPhone 5S? I was wondering what is 64 bit and why does it matter on an iPhone? What makes it different than the iPhone 5 or any other smartphone right now, and should we really care?
- Is iphone 4 still worth buying as of to date 2014? And is the processor still good? I like the spec of the ip 4, but the processor is a little bit short, i just wanted to buy one so i ask question.
- IPhone 5 A6 Dual core vs The Note 2 1.6 Quad core processor? Which out of these two phones has the better processing power on the web and gaming? No Fanboyism please
