Tablet race will be 64-bit with new hardware

Initiated with Apple A7 chip, the tablet manufacturers will enter the race to exploit the 64-bit maximum performance enterprise service.

• Apple initiated the race chip 64-bit / Windows 8 tablet will be strong growth in 2014

Tablets running Windows 8.1 64-bit processor with 64-bit Atom Bay Trail will debut at MWC later this month. This equipment is considered a prelude to the race 64-bit tablet market will be very active in the near future.

A series of large technology companies such as Microsoft, Google, Intel, ARM, Apple is looking for the potential that the 64-bit environment offers.The tablet will have a 64-bit processing capabilities more robust, higher performance, to overcome such limitations on the 4 GB RAM and runs 64-bit applications on the PC popular.

Dell Venue 8 Pro.

Who initiated for this race not to mention Apple A7 chip supports 64-bit computing with the iPhone 5S launch in September last year. Once again Apple has mastered and make up trends forcing other manufacturers to accelerate to embrace the need for 64-bit devices in the near future.

Manufacturers are not always excited and move to 64-bit technology.However, the technology giant in the village will not be outside this race.The first name is Dell when its representative said the tablet Venue 8 Proand 11 Pro will have a 64-bit version launches later this year.

"This is an important step to serve our customers by the majority partner with a platform now uses 64-bit," said Dell representative. "So we wanted to give customers more choices richer".

Bay Trail Atom (Z3680) is the integrated chip 64-bit Intel's first. Atom Bay Trail is expected to promote the manufacturer of the device is compatible with 64-bit operating system.

For Microsoft, the company has developed a 64-bit version for Windows XP since 2005. The software development team also moved from 32-bit to 64-bit. This conversion takes place slowly to reduce the incompatibility between the two environments. "Windows 8.1 runs fine on 64-bit platforms," ​​a Microsoft representative said. "There will be many devices running Windows 8.1 64-bit Intel-based platforms such as Dell Venue Pro, XPS12, Acer Aspire, the Surface Pro 2 ".

However, Microsoft changes alone will not be enough by tablets running Windows with a significant contribution of Surface only 3% of the total number of tablets sold in 2013, according to IDC data. Meanwhile, Android tablets accounted for 60.8% market share.

Intel certainly recognize the difference in potential between the two foundation years. Therefore the company has been studying for chips Bay Trail can work well on both operating systems. "Intel is closely following the development of the platform both Windows and Android tablet, the company has stated so in a financial meeting," analyst Brookwood said.

Samsung and Qualcomm Until begin shipping 64-bit ARM chip of their own, Intel, AMD and Apple will be a handful of companies that can provide 64-bit chips for mobile devices. Qualcomm has introduced the first 64-bit chip its Snapdragon 410 is expected in 12/2013 and commercialized in the first half of this year. Still, the MWC to firms not planning to introduce any device using this chip.

Before the development of rival Apple, Google's Android platform is also shown move switch to 64-bit platforms. However, the latest version is Android 4.4, Google is not able to bring 64-bit to the consumer. According to analysis of Ars Technica, the operating system Android 64-bit to the end of 2015 was not released.

The reason not to rush the launch Android version of 64-bit operating system also exists many problems, one of which is security. Android has no security mechanisms on the original version. Some manufacturers use Android then customize the security features added to the system, such as Samsung with Knox . Without security, Android will be very difficult to reach segment of the tablet for business objects. That 64-bit operating systems focused primarily on this object.

Each infection Google will have their plans and can hardly outside 64-bit race. The process of converting 64-bit can not affect individual customers but will have significant implications for developers as well as enterprises.
