ARM Is Surprised About 64-Bit Adoption; Says It Will Be The Future For The Mobile Space

Claims that the demand for mobile 64-bit products has risen drastically among manufacturers.

 

Tom Lantzsch, ARM's Executive Vice President of Corporate Strategy said that he was surprised about how quickly the mobile space is adopting to 64-bit processing. Moreover, it seems that the demand for 64-products in the markets seems to have gone up as well.

The 64-bit race was certainly started by Apple with its iPhone 5s and now it seems that everyone in the Android space wants in as well. This can be attributed to the sudden rise in demand for 64-bit processors among manufacturers. This in turn points out to smarter consumers who certainly don’t want to be victims of the shift from 32-bit to 64-bit processing.

Many consumers this year will be thinking about holding back their purchases when it comes to mobile phones. When operating systems change, the older ones often get left behind in the dust. This is common in Android because hardware technology here certainly keeps moving at a much quicker pace than any other mobile OS today.

ARM says that there is a rush towards the adoption of 64-bit platforms and every manufacture out there wants to be the first one to introduce the same to the game.

In an interview with CNet, the Executive VP of Corporate Strategy said, "Certainly, we've had big uptick in demand for mobile 64-bit products. We've seen this with our [Cortex] A53, a high-performance 64-bit mobile processor,"

"We've been surprised at the pace that [64-bit] is now becoming mobile centric. Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Marvell are examples of public 64-bit disclosures," he added.

Processors like the Cortex A53 are not yet available for manufacturers, but a rise in demand may force companies like ARM to push out there chips well ahead of schedule. In the end, it is only the consumer who will benefit, since 64-bit processing will certainly bring a lot more processing power to mobile devices.
