Ms office got 64 bit?
Those ancient software for old factory gonna jilaka...

16bits maybe, 32 bits cannot lah, still lots of industries using.

Since Office 2010, yes

you could use ms office for android on your tablet, or web based office suite...

i saw 64bit,
but when install, it install 32bit...
that why...
already try web base office,
i most of time use excel to create numbering for ticket/vouchers,
web version lack some of the function i need....

They don't want pay AMD no more

They don't want pay AMD no more

Doesn't AMD hold most of the patents for x86 64bit?

If drop 32-bit support, then all my Windows hobby projects cannot work anymore...... sad.
Only my Linux hobby projects are using x64 code.

Have to migrate my code from x86 to x64.
Good read: x64 calling convention ( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build...n?view=msvc-170 )

MS also try to expand territory on different CPU.

WOA (Windows on Arm)



Hardware low spec, very slow.
Suggest use a more powerful machine.

Might wanna upgrade your storage speed before looking into CPUs.

each bit extra is twice the capacity, i wonder when we will move towards 128 bit.

For memory, may be after 64 bit addressing is no enough...

Last time I encounter 64-bit address is not all accessible, only 40-bit address, and need some tweaks to access all 64-bit memory....  

Then when doing bootloader also I encounter A20 line, or else cannot access full width of memory address (not sure how many bits).....
That's when I start pening pening kepala, give up studying the width of bus, memory address...     

Intel® architecture powers datacenters and personal computers around the world. Since its introduction by Intel® in 1978, the architecture has continuously evolved to take advantage of emerging workloads and the relentless pace of Moore’s law. The original instruction set defined only eight 16-bit general-purpose registers, which over the years were doubled in number and quadrupled in size. A large set of vector registers was added, and most recently Intel® AMX introduced two-dimensional matrix registers, providing a big jump in AI performance.1

Today, we are introducing the next major step in the evolution of Intel® architecture. Intel® Advanced Performance Extensions (Intel® APX) expands the entire x86 instruction set with access to more registers and adds various new features that improve general-purpose performance. The extensions are designed to provide efficient performance gains across a variety of workloads – without significantly increasing silicon area or power consumption of the core.

Intel® APX doubles the number of general-purpose registers (GPRs) from 16 to 32. This allows the compiler to keep more values in registers; as a result, APX-compiled code contains 10% fewer loads and more than 20% fewer stores than the same code compiled for an Intel® 64 baseline.2 Register accesses are not only faster, but they also consume significantly less dynamic power than complex load and store operations

each bit extra is twice the capacity, i wonder when we will move towards 128 bit.

APX!

Those Windows-based 32-bit test bench PCs in the manufacturing facility would undoubtedly suffer if their codes continue to employ 32-bit vendor device driver libraries; some are legacy driver codes that have not been changed to 64-bit.

40 bit address can handle up to 1 TB (some system is 48 bit up to 256 TB),
