32 or 64 bit is the size of the internal registers, which get processed at every instruction and not the size of the address bus nor the external data bus. 64 bit definitely offers more processing power, also depending on the instructions the processor offers, the kind of task and how the software is optimized for it.
thank you
Sorry pal, but you misunderstand completely the concept of 32 bit or 64 bit for a microprocessor. When we talk about 32 bit x 64 bit we are talking about the size of the data bus not the size of the address bus. If we were talking about the size of the address bus your video would be correct because more bits in the address bus means more addressable memory. But when we talk about the size of the data bus we are really talking about the amount or the size of information which the microprocessor could work within a single unit of time.
In theory more information being processed at the same time could mean more processing power but only if you take advantage of that extra processing power and only if you really need too. For example text information are stored usually using only 8 bits or 16 bits so a 64 bits processor wont offer much advantage over a 32 bits processor for text processing.
For Audio processing, video processing and 3D Graphics were the processor must deal with big numbers at highest speed possible a 64 bits processor could offer a really big speed increase but only if the program is running 64 bit code and is optimized to work with 64 bits. If you have a 64 bits processor running a 32 bits video player for example probably you won´t get any increment in speed at all.
In general it is a good idea to upgrade to 64 bits cellphone or computer because the microprocessor manufactures are reaching the maximum speed limit in terms of clock speed (specified in Giga Hertz GHz) so the only way to keep increasing processing speed is by growing the data bus size and the number of processors in the same chip. So eventually the software companies will follow the silicon chip manufactures and will create software optimized for 64 bits microprocessors but it only will happen if there is users with 64 bits gear to use that software.
you are right. linus gets this stuff wrong quite frequently.
tobalnell1983 never noticed that :/. Than I probably have alot of information's that is not right...
Eric Slattery
Well, in fairness, the "big thing" about 64-bit processors is the addressing. But they only have 56 bits worth of addressing, and it still requires PAE, Yes, they do have a 64-bit data bus and 64-bit registers. But, even in "long mode," it requires a special prefix to access the registers as 64-bit. Data operations still default to 32-bit.
Eric Slattery
I don't think assembly language is that bad. It is, admittedly, tedious to do anything useful in it. (Disclaimer: In my early days, I did not actually have access to an assembler. I used a chart of opcodes.) Of course, I didn't have some lecturer teaching it to me. I learned it from books.
I'm not gonna read what you just wrote, because i actually have a life, and i don't have time for that, therefor i cannot say you are wrong, or correct you. I only read the first line where you say he's wrong. Once again, i didn't read yours, you might be right, Linus might be wrong, BUT. Linus does know what he's talking about, he wouldn't make a video about this if he didn't know. Not flaming, just saying, i haven't encountered a situation so far where he has said something wrong, and I've watched like 90% of his videos.

Talking as a programmer, there is a benefit which I'm surprised you didn't mention. 64-bit processors can read 8 bytes each instruction and 32-bit only 4, which is hugely beneficial for 64-bit data types used in data processing of huge numbers or high resolution decimals.
surprised you were ignored am a fellow programmer well ex one but knew this all along coding for 32 bit is only redundancy while 64 bit is more free

Informative video. I know it's hard to compare speeds of various tasks between the two, but a couple of examples would have been instructive. I do have one example, though, that I found out by doing a comparison on my computer (a recent Alienware model) Adobe Premiere Elements 9 32-bit vs. Premiere 15 64-bit to produce a half-hour AVCHD file. Same hardware, same movie, but the former took around four hours to encode and the latter almost exactly ten minutes. The difference is so stark for this particular application that I'm still slightly stunned. There is the possibility that I'm under an illusion that I'm comparing apples to apples, so I welcome others' thoughts.
Pretty bullshit move by apple. stays at 1GB ram yet boasts about having 64bit...Thats like saying "HEY GUYS! I GOT A HUGE ASS SWIMMING POOL!, BUT I CAN ONLY AFFORD ONE LITRE OF WATER!!!!!"

Uncrowned and yet iPhones still outperform all other smartphones when it comes to ram
by like 0.2 seconds or something. doesnt make that much of a difference
It's not about how big RAM, it's about how the phone makes the best use out of it. Phones like the oneplus have 6 GB of RAM yet the can't beet and iPhone 6s with 2 GB of RAM.
+Zeyad Bawazeer You obivously never had to deal with high poly graphics. Your shitty 2 GB's of RAM have to be shared with the GPU. Android needs less than 1 GB when no apps are running. The remaining 5 GB (not exactly 5 GB, the memory split is often hard programmed into the SoC) can be utilized for high quality textures.
Awesome explanation, and as a software developer who has written a bit of prototype kernel code (assembly), I don't say that lightly. 😀 Kudos e.g. for mentioning PAE (Physical Address Extensions, introduced with the Pentium Pro, which allowed 32-bit processors to address up to 64GB RAM), and that most of the early performance gains were more from the increased number of general-purpose registers etc. than actual 64-bit computations.
I have no corrections per se, but the 16 billion gigabytes figure at least does not apply to current desktop or server processors and may be slightly misleading. Current x86-64 (originally AMD64) processors - this hasn't changed since 2014 - only have 48 address lanes, and can therefore only address a "measly" 256 terabytes of RAM. The hard limit for future x86-64 processors - without introducing a new page table layout, that is - is 52 address lanes or 4 petabytes of RAM.
I thought this was going to be some fancy behind the scenes magic that you don't see, because that's what it sounded like in the WAN show, not just "more RAM".
Sure for now saying that a phone has a 64-bit processor is just a selling point, but it makes for a more seamless transition in the future. In Apple's case, once mobile application require 4+ GB of RAM, they're already going to be a few generations in and app developers will already have compatible apps. Pretty forward thinking if you ask me.
Yes in a 100 years when phone applications finally require more than 1gig of ram well be ready.

According to this test (which was on a system with 4GB of RAM) 64-bit can increase speed quite a bit, but only in a couple things like openssl and disk transaction. Graphics were the same, CPU intensive stuff was generally faster on 64-bit with the notable exception of Apache. The reason is that x86_64 has twice as many general purpose registers and they're twice as large, so it can be significantly faster for some workloads. So there is some truth to 64-bit being faster, but until we get to 4GB I don't think it'll be too useful.
Alexander Pavel Essentially what I wrote just before you, though mine was more technical about it :)
***** Most software on Windows is still 32bit because Microsoft still support 32bit so the developers don't see the point improving things. It's just laziness more than anything. The simple fact a 32bit version of Windows is still being developed and released is baffling to me, they should have killed that shit years ago when Vista launched. It was the perfect opportunity to properly future proof the platform.
TalesOfWar maybe with windows 25
When Linus talks about a cpu being 32bit vs 64bit mainly being referred to by the memory address that is actually not true. A lot of cpus refer to the amount of bits as their ALU length
A cpu has the address bus, a data bus, and a ALU length.
The address bus is how many sections of memory you can access at once, data bus is how many bits per section, and alu (arithmetic logic unit) is how big of a number a program can use at once. The ALU is the main device that manipulates (aka does math on) numbers in a cpu and there can be multiple. When people say something is a 32bit cpu, that probably doesn’t mean the data bus or address bus is 32bit, just that the ALU is (at least mostly). My best example is that the intel 8080 was an 8 bit cpu with 8bit address bus. but the z80 cpu was an 8 bit ALU and either 12 or 16bit address bus (can’t remember) and still called 8 bit.
Also when Linus says that an 32bit cpu can use 4gb of ram, that’s not always true. I don’t design intel or amd cpus but when a cpu writes to an io device like a pcie card or a usb device, it is mapped to the same area of ram that’s used for memory. So if you have 4gb max you probably can only get 3-3.5gb at most. Now if you have a chipset on your motherboard or cpu that essentially acts like a 2nd slower cpu that essentially can expand your io devices but is too slow to expand ram as it has more address lines for the other devices to use. One of the things server boards do is they just add 2 cpus which each have their own number of address lines to just add more ram and more cpu performance to a device that needs it. But as Linus said shoving more ram or even cpu cores at something almost never helps in games as they have a max ram they can use and usually only use 1 core.
One of the reasons programs stay 32 bit is for compatibility as well, maybe not for your gaming pc but what about your neighbor running a very old laptop or the local library still running windows xp machines? Those would probably need x86 (aka 32 bit) programs to work

I'm surprised you did not mention the Y2038 problem Linus. Yes I know it's still a long way to go, but it is a very valid reason to migrate to 64 bit architecture.
I'm very late but it can be fixed by just changing the Unix time counter to use 2 32bit counters instead of one
Is there more to it than that? Why did Nintendo go with a 64-bit CPU if it went nowhere near that amount of RAM?
The hype train over the number of bits was still in full force back then. But I think it also reduced the threat of emulators, but then again, the N64 and your typical PC (even back in the mid to late 90s) were still fundamentally different. Even the GameCube, Wii, PS3, and 360 were far closer to Macs (before the switch to Intel) because they were using IBM made PowerPC processors.

Probably because most developers are using 64-bit systems, now.
I think 32-bit is completely obsolete. My OS takes up about a gig just idling.
Most browsers take up about 300-700 megs, depending on varying factors.
A game takes up around 1.5gb. A modded game takes up to 3gb.
If I want to watch TH-cam vids on one monitor while playing modded Mount and Blade: Warband (with 64-bit .exe hotfix) on another--
My 6gb triple-channel system barely handles that. A 3.2gb system would just flat out suck running that.

@@xell2371 256 Bits
The bit width of a processor is not only (usually) translated to the address bus, it's also the width of internal CPU registers and, together with it, the operations on the registers. As a simple example, in C/C++ the "long long int" type (I know, it sounds more like the beginning of a fairy tale) is 64 bits, no matter what target platform you compile the code to. If the target is 32 bits, an operation over the variable has to be done in parts in machine code, while in 64 bits it can be done with a single operation.
"Maybe we will need more than 4gb eventually"
Anything in 2022: you need a minimum of 16gb
@Joelthepig I have windows 10 and 2.1 gb of ram is automatically allocated to windows, and then windows uses half of the 6 gb of ram I have left, which means it uses 5gb without opening any programs (and probably more if I didn't disable things like onedrive)
9 years ago..
Tech has really moved on so much from where it was in 2014. Surprisingly, the industry did work together pretty well to quickly transition away from 32 bit processors between 2014-2017. Only the very low end of devices are still using 32bit archectures these days.

Haven't been hearing about 32bits for years now
u tell simple things in funny way. it makes ur video very interesting keep working good luck
But damn apple does the right thing slowly moving over to 64-bit. its gonna be a perfectly smooth transition for iOS users. When i get my first 64bit android phone there'll probably be no support for 64bit apps.
Just like Windows. There's hardly any 64bit software outside of pro content creation type stuff, yet on the Mac damn near everything is 64bit. The only 32bit apps on any of my Macs are... Adobe and Microsoft made.
Vaati Reborn Yes, because the benefits are more than just addressing more memory. It means you can dump old legacy crap from your code and use the cleaner, more streamlined x64 code. x86 is still full of crap from the 16bit era. Hell, stuff from 8bit!
Vaati Reborn Running stuff like Photoshop on a 32bit system is an extremely frustrating situation. Especially if you're working with things like RAW files. Constant "out of memory" warnings.
TalesOfWar Not only that, but a few 64-bit programs are designed to take advantage of 64-bit processing. Photoshop is an example of that, as are many 3D rendering (for films/animations) and other professional multimedia production programs. Normal 64-bit desktop programs often don't take advantage of 64-bit and run just as fast as their 32-bit counterparts. The downside to 64-bit processing is that a 64-bit OS will consume at least 50% more RAM (at startup) than a 32-bit OS would. So I wouldnt put a 64-bit OS on a low to midrange smartphone just yet. In fact, even high-end smartphones in the near future should just be able to get by with PAE (a 32-bit processor function that lets it address more than 4GB of memory).
Android (and iOS for that matter) applications run on a runtime, not directly on the hardware, so there will be no transition.

Nicholas Cardenas Who the fuck needs 4k on their phone? a 1080p phone would probably have a 300< PPI.
Less compression, In gameplay videos atleast, the videos are less pixelated at the 4k mode than at 1080p unless youtube changed it recently :/
Nicholas Cardenas You might also want to have at least 6 mbps of bandwidth if you live alone if not probably twice as that.
Nicholas Cardenas yeah? I was just clarifying that if you or anyone else is going to watch videos in 4k, it will be needed more than just the right hardware but also a high speed bandwidth.
I'm watching the video in 4K, and probably a thousand more people could be watching it at 4K.
Somewhere in the past, somebody switch the bits width of a CPU concept from data bus to the address bus by mistake. The number of bits of a CPU refers to its internal data bus width and not for its address bus (used to address external RAM locations). For example, the well known intel 8086 is a 16 bits CPU (16 bits width instruction set and data, 16 bits internal registers and 16 bits ALU) and 20 bits width address bus. I never heard o read a reference to this chip as a 20 bit CPU. Same thing with the Z80, it is a 8 bits CPU (for executing instructions and processing data) with a 16 bit address bus. The number of bits width of the address bus is just how much data locations can be addressed by the processor and is pretty much a secondary parameter. Another example is the intel i386SX is a 32 bit CPU with 24 bit address bus. It is not a 24 bits CPU. Increasing the data bus width of a CPU can increase its number of the instructions set, it also increases the number of bits it can handle at the same time for internal calculations, data comparisons, data transfer and other binary operations. This a mistake is made by a lot of people even in tech websites.

Thanks, that helped a little *bit* 🥁
and now we're in 2020 where 4 to 8gb smartphone ram and 8gig desktop ram is a bare minimum necessity
I don't know about bare minimum... I'm doing just fine with 8gb on my desktop
@@buttersquids1063 that's because it is the bare minimum lol
Btw I have 12gb
literally all flagships are 64 bit and supported here in 2018
Aside from the accuracy and general quality of the video (which were excellent as usual), you even got a good laugh out of me at that "16 billions GBs of RAM". Thanks :D
When you watch the video in 2018 and think today we have 8gb memory in some phones
This pop up on my recommendations because of the new 64, 32, 16 etc bit meme
Even as a tech person, this 64 vs 32 has been bothering me for a while. Thanks for breaking it down!!
so how many bits is the wii u/ps4 linus ???????
PS4 is 64 bit because it has 8 gigs of RAM, Wii U, no idea.
32. they don't have enough ram to even use 64 bit. Especially the will u.
Francesco Fusco lol PS4 SATA 2- older than the wheel
LenChewbacca SATA II is totally fine. It's not bottlenecking anything. Not even bottlenecking an SSD because you wouldn't see transfer speeds going over SATA II specs when loading game files. And normal HDD just barely uses half of the available bandwidth of the SATA II interface.
***** It's x86-64. Like most Desktops and laptops.
i stil dont understand lmao
lmao same
a 32 bit computer can only handle information that can be represented by a combination of 32, 1s or 0s,. a 62 bit can handle info that would need more either 1s or 0s than 32. 64 in fact, so basically the higher the bit the more complex info that the computer can handle.
***** AHHHH thanks
+mauricious777 Actually 64bit Does have an advantage. 32bit clocks (which all run using some variation or knock off of Unix Time calculation) will reset sometime in the 2020s like the Y2K bug back in 2000 did for 16bit computers. 64 bit clocks will not reset for thousands of years.

That's only for phones everyone
It is not only a matter of size of RAM you can access but also of speed of floating point operation. I have seen factor 100 improvement between 32 and 64 bit application for matrix inversion operations.
LMAO "WHERES MY 128 BIT"
I LAUGHED SO HARD
POV: you trying to find new comment beacuse this channel got in your recommended and you enjoy it
Same
I come from the olden days of thunk, twunk, ntvdm, etc. Is the only way to get some of my favorite 32bit , apps like PM, PS, etc, to run on current 64bit HW is to dual boot with a Win7 partition? There's stuff I'd like to keep running without spending thousands more to replace? It took years to run into trouble keeping dos programs running with slight adjustments? There's got to be a way.........

I remember getting my first 64 bit build the year they came out, and the first 64 bit windows.
So many blue screens. It was a mess. The drivers were terrible.
In 2001?
About to skip the ad until I noticed linus was in there
What I don't quite understand is why 64-bit and not 128-bit?
Yeah thinking about the memory limitations right now is ridiculous, but so was 4gb many many years ago
What are the 'disadvantages' of going to say 128-bit or 256-bit CPU architecture? Since it requires an architectural redesign, we're going to have to go through that process when we do start getting close to 64-bit limitations. It's also not just memory, it affects integers and float values. You get rounding errors or float errors, and you can only count so high. You can't eliminate this entirely but you can greatly improve upon it with a higher bit count
There's also the possibility for a massive shift in the consumer market. 16 billion GB of RAM seems totally absurd for an individual computer even looking ahead 30 years. But that may not be the market, it could be that computing power shifts away from individual PC's into centralized mainframes that can feed thousands/millions of individual user sessions at once and that ends up being much better than trying to cram huge power into every single device individually. Huge shared resource data centers essentially.
If you need to effectively serve 300,000 discrete sessions in a combined server, you'll reach the memory limit at just 61.5TB of RAM per session which isn't so absurd projected forward 30 years
What are the disadvantages to going to 128-bit now? Is it more complicated to do? more expensive? are calculations actually slower? or is it just not essential right now therefore make it a future people problem? (hello IPv4, yeah the transition off that has been totally smooth and seamless.....)
because its unnecessary

TH-cam has recommended me again this video. Well, I've learned some computer engineering, and I was studying the Intel manual of Intel Architectures of 32 and 64 bits...
And believe me. It's HELL. It's just not that simple. The implementation at scary low levels is very complex. Though I'm beginning to understand it better.
64 bits, 32 bits, 16 BITS, 8 BITS, 4 BITS, 2 BITS, 1 BIT
HALF BIT, QUARTER BIT, THE WRIST GAAAAAAAAAME
I was watching 64bit 32bit 16bit 8bit 4bit 2bit 1bit meme and i got this recommendation
I saw an ad of Linus in this video
If 64-bit chips can handle 16 petabytes of RAM, why do CPU manufacturers neuter their CPUs with 32, 64, adn 128GB maximums for their chips?
CPUs have 2 different kinds of bus. A Data Bus that determines the highest amount of data it can transfer to memory and an Address Bus (the important one in your question) that is the one that calls for a byte in memory.
The more amount of memory the CPU can address the bigger that bus must be. Each extra bit in the bus means an extra pin in the bottom side of the CPU which means extra design and manufacturing costs. A 4 core CPU with full 64bit address bus (for each core) means 4x64=256 pins inserted down the CPU chip. A 10 core cpu (i7 6950X) would have 640 pins just for the address bus. Do you think anyone will use 16,000.000GiB of ram in the next 10 years? So there is no need to use the whole amount of pins in that chip and if they're not needed they just reduce the bus size to a more plausible one and reduce costs.
32GiB just need a 35 bit bus. 64GiB=36 bit bus, 128GiB=37 bit bus.
I always learn something from these videos, outstanding as always Linus!
We need a remake of this.
