Hmmm, 64 bit code is a little larger than 32 bit code (for AMD64 vs x86) as there is a prefix byte for 64-bit instructions. On the other hand the extra registers in AMD64 often counteract this ...

Switching to 64-bit code could see apps perform better on the latest hardware, especially if developers decide to optimize their apps for Apple's A8 SoC in the process of adding in 64-bit support.

The kind of 16-bit code you had to write to get the job done was just plain ugly. And here’s where my assumptions break down. In those cases, it’s *not* the same code.

64-bit code running on Apple’s A7 is capable of running around 33 percent faster than 32-bit code running on the same processor, according to our CPU benchmarks.

The 64-bit boards are very costly, so having an accurate 64-bit core simulator can help save some time and money as well by allowing you to develop and debug code on the simulator rather than always ...

In fact, 64-bit programs can easily be slower than their 32-bit counterparts, because the pointers that point to locations in memory must now be 64 bits in size, taking up more space in the code.

At this voltage, the 64-bit code is read out at 787 bits/second. The 64-bit transponder chip uses organic bottom-gate, p-type, Pentacene thin-film transistors from a soluble precursor route. It ...

Apple may have only introduced 64-bit computing to iPhones and iPads a little over a year ago, but it's already preparing for the day when legacy 32-bit code is gone for good. The Cupertino crew ...

As of today, the PTS is "open for players to experience Star Wars: The Old Republic in 64-bit," and will contain "the content that is included in Game Update 7.2." ...

64-bit code: Last week, I declared a moratorium on discussion of "huge pages" in Apple's operating systems. (Hey, it was interesting at the time.) ...
