VGA is still not dead.

We're not going to be seeing 128-bit CPUs any time soon though. They would give an address space of over 300 million geopbytes, and literally nobody needs anything close to that.

128 bit cpu => bigger words => bigger cache line.

Thankfully there's one company that's progressing into the future, and they happen to make the best phone!

Can some explain the difference between a 32 bit cpu and 64 bit one. I don't get it

64 is double 32. Therefore it's double as good.

Good luck keeping the weight off, the future is grim

It's to do with how large pointers are that the CPU uses.
It directly has an effect on how much memory a computer is able to have.
Connor Cook
With Systemdicks trying to take over even more shit and more security and stability issues being found with it each day I think that people will finally start the push to get it out of the standard

>32-bit = 2^32 addresses of memory, each containing 1 byte
This makes for a maximum of 4GB, but that includes RAM, cache, VRAM, and all of the addresses used by IO like PCI. Intel put in a workaround for this, but in non-server versions of Windows drivers could get screwed up. Most 32-bit mobo chipsets didn't support it, either.
64-bit x86 implementations also made a few more complicated architectural changes that give it a bit more potential power. 64-bit NT may well be a more efficient and well-maintained kernel than 32-bit NT, which has been mostly legacy since Windows 7.
Adam White
One can hope, but it seems that more people are just accepting systemd and more and more people are projecting their obstinance onto people that merely suggest using a modular init and userland
Elijah Jenkins
And it's great.
