The generational leap from 32bit to 64bit in computers took years, but Apple is already laying the groundwork in its mobile devices. Should the time come to fully exploit the power, every device under Apple would already be on corresponding, and comptaible hardware.

      Looks like a triple whammy to the rivals now. Superb OS, super powerful chip, and exciting material build and strong hardware.

      Win win win for iPhone 6. Expect more rounds of lowered profits from Samsung in Q3 and Q4.

        Another dead architecture like the power pc until apple went on to follow pc and use intel. But then, lots of talk for Ifans.

If there's one thing that apple does not over price is their cpu. Everything else is indeed outdated, their cpu makes Qualcomm SoCs seem as if they are from the stone ages. A9 will crush Snapdragon S805 in benchs and everywhere else. Exynos is the last hope for Android SoCs

                BTW Everything you say is so wrong 64 bit architecture does matter read up and stop coming with biased opinions

And that is because not everyone shares the same sentiment with you. You have the choice of not opening the Indian product news if it bothers you so much. I only click on the stuff that I find interesting. I'm not bothered with the Indian/Chinese stuff at all. Why get so hung up on the ones you don't like? You're not being forced at all to read them. Plus you're almost saying like their products don't deserve to be known through tech sites. Its not like most of them have tons of marketing budget like apple or samsung. So they have to make do with advertising through being featured in tech sites. This website is not exclusive to just the big names. Get over it.

                            Only reason why IOS performs well on mediocre tech is because it is simplified as hell, you do not have any customization options, you do not have customizable home screen, your driver support is very, very retained( IOS devices only), your tech is limited so to perform at its best (screen is the way it is for ex., as not to drain mem and cpu over enough to cause OS lag....)

                            How hard is it to understand...

                            And that is all ok, If you prefer to choose it
                            That is what Apple gives you.... for way toooo much money....

                                It'll be too slow for Snapdragon 810 and Exynos 5433 and will end up dead like the PowerPC.

When iPhone 5S was launched last year with A7 (1.3Ghz dual core) chip it proved faster than Samsung's 8core chip in S4 & Snapdragon 600(quad core 1.7Ghz) of HTC one in every possible benchmark. So you can easily expect A8 to beat 2GHz+ chipsets in droids with even 2Ghz clock speed easily.

The athlon, Mhz to Mhz and watt for watt was FASTER and MORE EFFICIENT, much as current Intel CPU are Mhz for Mhz and watt for watt, faster and more efficient than AMDs. How is that so hard to understand that we now see the same thing with Apple's offerings versus Arm's?
