BBCより。サムソンが次に発売するギャラクシーノート３ではアップルをまねて６４ビットプロセッサーを導入sるという。
しかし、このことはより多くのメモリー、より大きなバッテリーを必要とすることとなり、携帯端末としては微妙なところだ。
何より、アップルに先行されているサムソン。
巻き返したいゆえの発表なのだろうが、凋落の一途であることは間違いない。
こうした発表をする時点で先がないなか、株価を気にして無理やり発表をしている構図が透けて見える。
もうサムソンはいいよ。次はアップルが新しいiPadをだすのだから。

Samsung has confirmed its next high-end smartphones will feature 64-bit processors.

The announcement follows the launch of the iPhone 5S, the first handset to include the technology.

Apple boasted its A7 chip offered "desktop-class architecture".

However, experts say most apps are unlikely to see much immediate benefit from the shift from 32-bit tech and that it could introduce compatibility problems in the future.

The number of bits refers to the amount of data that can be processed in each of the thousands of compute cycles a chip carries out every second.

In the case of 32-bit architecture, this refers to two to the power of 32, in other words 4.3 billion bytes of information per cycle.

In the case of 64-bit architecture this refers to two to the power of 64, which totals about 18,400,000 trillion bytes.

If a program has been written to take advantage of a 64-bit operating system, it should mean the processor needs to access data stored in the RAM (random-access memory) chip less often and can deliver a performance boost as a consequence.

Another major reason so many PC manufacturers have already switched to the technology is that the processor can also take advantage of machines with more physical memory.
