    64bit means you can have more instructions sets. 4GB needed for 64bit is rubbish thinking..because you believe in the CopyKing Samsung.

    More instructions means there is shorter way to do something. Stuff that normally takes a couple of clock cycle to complete, can now be completed in 1 cycle. So basically you can run the chip at half the Ghz.. and yet achieve the same results.

    So do not believe in what Samsung trollers / Samsung marketing gimmick on this 32bit useless chip.

    .. never believe a company who brought you this: "football will save the planet".. its good for jokes only.

      samsung rules, 14 Aug 2014But nothing can apple be proud of the A8 chip because it is... moreApple optimized the newest ARMv8 architecture last year already, makes it 6-issuing one instead of 3-issuing.

      Samsung is still stuck with the ARM reference design, even for the old ARMv7.

      What a comparison.

        samsung rules, 14 Aug 2014But nothing can apple be proud of the A8 chip because it is... moreYou praise the person that design the Chip. NOT The Maker. The creator who makes it all possible.

        By your mentality of praising the maker. WHY are you praising Samsung??? Samsung did not make the chip...you should praise the robot arm that makes the chip.. or maybe the worker who make the chip.

                So new node but based on old design. A8 is on new node but also fresh design not to mention also 64-bit.

                    ok then, 14 Aug 2014I can understand waiting for 14nm. But what will you gain ... moreFor 64 bit processor, a minimum of 4 GB RAM is sufficient enough, for mobile opreating systems. Android L, which is the latest iteration of Android OS, is 64 bit optimized and all it requires are now 64 bit apps. 64 bit apps would have more functionalities over their 32 bit counterparts. Imagine running the desktop version of Abode Photoshop on your smartphone. It'd be awesome. I've been using Android for three years now, from Gingerbread to KitKat and I am bored of playing flappy birds clones and using basic non-desktop-level softwares. That is why the demand of 64 bit from my side.

                        But what will you gain from 64 bit on your phones - apart from a larger address space (unless you're waiting for a phone with 8GB of RAM)?

                        Are you planning to run software requiring huge data sets (large oracle database?)? Or perform lots of encryption and encoding on your phone?

                          Well, in terms of performance maybe we it's just slightly better than 5422 (galaxy s5 global)

                          But in terms of fabrication, moved from 28nm to 20nm,, 5430 will offer better power consumption,, (galaxy alpha has 1850mah compared 2600mah on s5)

                          And, this advantages, seems to be th main reason why samsung set this 5430 slightly faster clock on CPU and mali GPu compared to 5420

                          The next biggest thing is 5433 with their brand new big.litthe a53+a57 and mali t760gpu with 64big capabilities in upcoming note 4

                                  Also the same gpu was supposed to run at 695 mhz inside my Galaxy s5(exynos), not sure at what frequency it is actually running.

The chips are only designed by apple. Secondly Samsung has allready 14nm chip production capabilities, in which TMSC has problems (that probably will make Apple drop TSMC for Samsung again, if they dont pull themselves togehter.)

                                    So yeah, "Bloody Samsung is copying Apple again!"
