AnonD-58567, 26 Oct 201364 bit is gimmick if it doesn't use 4gb ram or ddr4 ram....... moreSo clueless. But yea, to the end user, which is like a sheep, a 64 bit coding extends only to its last important feature - addressing of over 4GB RAM....

Try to answer the following question to yourself:
Why a 32bit CPU can't execute 64bit software?!?

After you find the answer, do yourself a favor and stop using tech you don't understand at all.

    64 bit is gimmick if it doesn't use 4gb ram or ddr4 ram.....i hope samsung will add 4 gb of ram so that to take advantage of 64 bit....unlike ip5s which has 1 gb ram....btw apple din designed 64 bit architecture it was designed by arm and licesnced by apple...aplle just did some tweaks to it....

        All this news about samsing s5 coMing here like this....I have a reason to believe its not news but paid news that Samsung is doing to build a hype around the s5.Every other mobile manufacture looking, can learn.

        But for me this thing sucks.Don't follow Sammy!

Samsung is not an assembly company like FoxConn. Apple simply gives specs and samsung designs and produces the chips. It's like u going to an architect and tell him what kind of building u want and he architects, designs, and builds it for u, whatever it takes.

                  You guys do know the meaning of "future proof" right? if you don't,then google it then..just because Samsung is already switching over to 64-bit doesn't mean it's a useless technology because Android runs 32-bit..that is why it's called future proof,anticipating the next step technology wise..so that when Android switches to 64-bit the handset is ready for it,and of course developers will be forced to do so aswell.

                        So A7 is not build on Exynos process??? LOL

                        Samsung has nothing like Foxconn. Samsung has biggest R&D spending in the World.
                        Samsung use Foxconn and such companies in China, just like Apple do , for the "dirty" jobs.

                          st, 25 Oct 2013Angry bcoz samsung made the 64bit processors of apple ?? HahahaSamsung not created or desingned apple's chips just mamufacturate for them same as foxconn did. Apple is a fabless chip manufacturer like qualcomm(samsung use a lot qualcomm SoC own products) they just desingned new architectures but outsourcing fabrication to like TSMC and Samsung manufacturers because of scale of economy. Samsung spokesmans said "it's a gimmick" about 64 bit firsly but after they had manufacturated apple's A7 chip and got knowledge they says 64 bit is a very big thing. because of this Apple calcels the contract with Samsung and A8 chip manufacturated by TSMC.

                                    It's madness, 25 Oct 2013next time this phones will have 10Ram which is unnecessary.... moremy friend, stop wating your breath, you obviously do not know what you are talking about !
                                    1st of all : Samsung did not steal anything, YES they announced it right after Apple;
                                    2nd : the x64 bit arhitecture allows smartphones to have 4 (or more) GB of Ram, Apple has only 1GB, Samsung will most likely install 4GB Ram in the next S5, so they need the x64 arhitecture to allow this.

                                    I'm NOT a Samsung fan boy, i don't even like them any more, but i see that you are BLINDED by yours truly : Apple !

I know Samsung can do this and that but at the end of the day they are using Android as their OS. Please defend your land when you actually have your own OS because i don't care if you make your cheap plastics from Samsung's Raw hands or not. The truth is, the main OS is not Samsung so you can sleep on that and hope one day you can attack us with a Samsung OS and then we can start talking. So please don't give me Samsung does this and that when it's just another Android phone.
