Why Did CPUs Go to 64-Bit?
64-bit processors can process large amounts of data and can access much more memory.
They offer superior performance and efficiency in comparison to 32-bit processors.
This is the reason why the majority of computers and mobile devices nowadays use 64-bit processors.
The rise inCPU core countsin particular led to an inevitable need for greater RAM capacity.
