AnonD-178450, 30 Dec 20134 GB RAM will need 64-bit processor, and 64-bit processor b... moreWith hardware well and ready, SW progress will get the boost and indeed 64-bit OS and software support is coming. I believe the transformation from 32bit to 64bit for current apps wont be an uphill climb. Appls's iOS is sign of proof.

      Every company boasts about their inventions and Samsung is doing the same. Okay, 40% less battery but at the end of the day, battery backup still sucks. Now, UHD coming to smartphones, I can just imagine how bad the battery life would be. My phone has a quad core CPU and my desktop has a dual core processor, but my phone can't even run a desktop program.

          4 GB RAM will need 64-bit processor, and 64-bit processor better be run with 64-bit OS and apps that make use of it. Is everything ready or is it just another manufacturing gimmick from Shamesung??

                            For the love of god, please stop increasing the RAM size and display concentrate on Battery Life. Work on the design and Battery that's what we want.

                                Well this means that the 64 bit procces will actually take advantage of the Ram. Good news.

                                Ps. First!
