The 64-bit version of Android is expected to appear within the year earlier than expected, further improving the performance of smartphones will be realized

The "A7" chip Apple adopted at iPhone 5s has taken the lead, QUALCOMM is "Snapdragon 410/610/615"NVIDIA"Tegra K1Although it is rapidly advancing the SoC of the mobile terminal to 64 bits such as following with, the mobile OS still remains 32 bits. While the urgent OS 64-bit compatibility is required, it turned out that the 64-bit version of Android is expected to appear within the year ahead of conventional expectations. It is certain that smartphones will be further accelerated by 64-bit OS.

Move to 64-bit Android phones accelerating, says ARM - CNET

ARM's Tom Lance senior vice presidentCNET"I believe there is a possibility that the 64-bit version of Android will appear before Christmas," he said. It is said that the 64-bit compatible Android is expected to be ahead of schedule compared with the case that it was seen as appearing in 2015.

ARM has already released CPU cores "Cortex - A 53" and "Cortex - A 57", and QUALCOMM and MediaTek have developed SoCs that support 64 - bit instruction sets using this CPU, but 64 - bit version Android Yet It has not been officially announced. By migrating from the conventional 32-bit instruction set to the 64-bit instruction set, the CPU can accessMemory addressHas expanded from a maximum of 4 GB to a maximum of 16 EB (16 Million terabytes), 64-bit conversion has already been advanced in PC for Windows and other operating systems, but the mobile terminal OS was delayed in handling 64 bits It was.


The reason that the 64-bit version of the mobile OS was delayed is that the application did not require such a large amount of memory, but according to Rance senior vice president, it is code written in 32 bits ARM's 64-bit instruction set "V8-A architecture"It is possible to further improve the reaction speed and reduce the battery consumption because it can move more efficiently than the 32 bit instruction set. In view of performance improvement by 64-bit, Android is worth rushing to 64-bit, senior vice president Rens says.

As for the 64-bit version of Android, Intel has already demonstrated SoC "Intel Atom Z34XX · Z35XX" with MWC 2014, and IA version Android 4.4 is released, the application is confirmed to operate properly, the ARM version of 64 bit Android But it can be said that 32 bit application will work. To be held in June 2014 "Google I / O 2014"It is noteworthy whether there is an official announcement of 64-bit version of Android.
