Seriously, I get the A7, but what the hell does a 64bit do on mobiles?

More RAM. Improvements in visuals, loading times, makes the CPU run more smoothly, etc.

Well then huzzah for 64bit!

Absolutely nothing without extra RAM.

 

You need 4 GB of RAM to take advantage of a 64bit system.

Seeing as no mobile phone has 4GB of RAM it's largely a marketing ploy.

I assume this is the new 64bit ARM. Will be interesting to see what they do with it.

Not long now, till a phone is just a tiny computer. Plug into your TV or a big monitor, add keyboard and your done.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Yeah your smartphone was severly limited by 4GB of ram before 64 bits came and saved the day...

Here is a question for Samsung. Do they plan on running Android on this new Galaxy? Cause as far as I know, Androids run-time library is 32 bit. LOLz.

nothing, just like Windows 32 or 64 it wouldn't make any different until you have more than 4 GB RAM.

32 is limited to 4 GB RAM ,and phones barely carry 2 GB RAM , so having a 64 bit processor is useless, that is until Phones reach Laptop speeds, a useless marketing gimmick just like every single "Feature" samsung makes.

There is a crowd that likes to get a new phone every year, so they all will buy it like water and samsung will print money again.

Just how it works.
