Today I will show you a important things is, what is 32 bit and 64 bit. When you go to buy a computer or you want to set processor for the desktop computer, you can see the top of processor box is written on 64 bit or 32 bit. Now even though 32 bit desktop processors are not available. Everyone now uses 64-bit processors. So What exactly is this 32 bit or 64 bit processor? That is what I will tell you in details in this tutorial.
What is 64 bit Computer?
When we work something in a computer or store something, we calculate it at GB or GHz. But in fact all calculation in the computer calculated with bit. Bit is a type of binary that is calculated by zero and one. The more bit it is possible to work with more information. Generally data is not always shared on computer hardware. These are limited to a specific bit size. Whether computer processor also has a specific limit and processor can work on this amount of data at a time. And this specific amount is called word size. However, when we call 64 bit processors, we actually mean that the processor word size is 64 bit. That means that the processor can work 64 bit at specific time.
32 bit vs 64 bit in the operating system.
Operating system help to communicate with hardware and software. The operating system tells the computer processor when, what to do. When we go to install new windows or install any other operating system, we always see two versions of the operating system, x64 and the other one x86. Here x64 actually means 64 bit operating system. And x86 is actually a 32 bit operating system. So before downloading the operating system, take a look at what is your computer's processor. If your computer is 64 bit then you have to install 64 bit operating system. Otherwise you can not use the full power of the 64 bit processor. But we can install 32 bit operating system on 64 bit computer. But 32 bit processor do not support 64 bit operating system. So it is not possible to install 64 bit operating system on 32 bit computer.
64 bit Processor facility
64 bit processor have lot of advantages then 32 bit. Let's see 64 bit computer benefits.
Speed: 64 bit computers have a lot of more speed then 32 bit computer. Because the word size is double of 64 bit then 32 bit. So it is possible to do a lot of more work at a same time. You can create 4 billion times more combination on 64 bit computer.
More Ram Support: When processor works on a subject, then it stores in RAM. And to find out where that data is, then the computer gives a specific address to the data contained in RAM's data. And then find out that data accordingly. And how long this address can be given depends on the bit size of the RAM. The greater bit size processor can enter as much as the address. So 64 bit processor can work with more than 32 bits of RAM.
Memory Mapping: When you put any data on the computer, how does the computer know that you have put data in computer. In fact, whenever you store something in your computer, the computer gives an address to that place. And when you ask the computer to find that file, then the computer processor and computer ram work to find the file. So if you want to work with lot of data then you must use a 64 bit computer.
