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

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.

That would be true if 64-bit addressing was the ONLY difference.  The point is it's the next-generation CPU architecture (ARMv8) which happens to be 64-bit as well as having a host of other improvements (some of these are made possible by the larger instruction width, some are just incidental).
