I was planning to travel to the Caribbean recently and whilst online seeking advice from my roaming advisor I was a bit frustrated by how my laptop was functioning as certain application would not operate as well as it should be. So I spoke with a techie friend of mine who asked me is it is using a 32 Bit or 64 bit processor. So I checked but wondered what’s the difference. Here’s what I learnt.
Both 32 Bit processor and 64 Bit processor have some advantages and disadvantages. But deciding which one is better depends on how you want to use your PC.
There is a binary digit difference between 32 Bit processor and 64 Bit processor but it’s a mathematical difference so let’s just avoid this difference and see how this binary digit difference affects these processors.
Just because 64 sounds larger than 32, people think that 64-bit processor is better than 32 bit processors but there is not much software available that are compatible with 64-bit processors so you don’ t get the best out of it.
The key advantages of the 64 Bit procesors are,
Silicon processes are more advanced,
There are more transistors,
Its speed is faster.
Sadly for us the consumers 64-bit processors are very expensive if you compare the price with 32-bit processors. But things will change when the software vendors start making software that is compatible with 64-bit processors.
Once you start using a 64-bit processor, you don’t have to think about buying another processor for years. But for now, 32-bit processors are less expensive and all the software is compatible with 32-bit processors.
