At present, dual core and quad core processors are used to in the field of mobile technology, and 2G RAM is slowly becoming the mainstream standard configuration. According to the current trend of rapid development of mobile technology, when will our mobile phones and tablets have more powerful processors than computers? When is the memory of a mobile device larger than that of a computer? These all point to a key point, that is, 64 bit mobile processors.

What is a 64 bit processor
At present, most mobile devices use 32-bit processors, but most of our desktops or laptops already use 64 bit processors. What are the differences between 64 bit processors? What benefits will it bring? For example, if you drive on the highway, what will happen if the highway is doubled? It can not only allow greater traffic flow, but also make driving faster. If you want to think more simply, it is the same reason that the desktop Windows 64 system was compared to the 32-bit system. The 64 bit system can load more data into the memory, which is convenient for the processor to access and extract quickly.

Unlimit memory
The address registry of 32-bit system can correspond to 4G RAM at most, that is to say, according to the current development speed of the mobile field, after the current popularization of 2G memory, the era of 4G memory will come sooner or later. So at that time, we have to face the problem of memory limitation. If we use 64 bit processors, we don't need to consider this problem at all.

At present, high-end mobile devices are equipped with 2G memory, but there is no device with 3G memory. That is to say, the next step should be to popularize 3G memory, and then reach the limit of 32-bit system, namely 4G memory. According to the current development speed, it is estimated that it will take about 18 months.

feasibility analysis
18 months is not long, but is it possible? Because it requires not only 64 bit processors, but also 64 bit operating systems. In other words, current mobile operating systems need to be updated at the firmware level, but the software can be assured that, like desktop systems, 64 bit systems can be compatible with 32-bit software. And this is not a big problem for Android system, thanks to the Dalvik virtual memory mechanism of Android, that is, it is OK to add virtual memory.

Is a 64 bit system necessary?
Admittedly, most of the programs running on our mobile phones and tablets are relatively simple and do not require high processors. But this is only most applications. When encountering large 3D games and needing to process media files, the power of 64 bit system can be brought into play. If you have experience in using Photoshop, you will know that 64 bit systems and 32-bit systems have great advantages in handling media files such as pictures and videos! Half as fast is no problem. At that time, it will become very easy to edit the P map or video on the mobile phone or tablet. Not to mention system fluency. Do you think 64 bit mobile phones and tablets are necessary?
