Apparently we're crossing wires here. I'm in no way shape or form saying these applications don't exist (I'm currently writing one).
What I am saying is that for ever such application there are probably more than a thousand sites hosted on free with your domain or $5 a month php + mysql hosting that use no where near 4GB per process. For the companies hosting those sites a cortex a-15 with a ton of ram is an awesome solution. This isn't all or nothing, we're talking about two different markets.
- sliverstorm 14y agoBut how does "64bit is needed in specific applications that are not the majority" translate to "64bit is not needed"?
- mbell 14y agoIt doesn't, and I don't see where I've made that claim. I'm refuting the opposite. The initial claim was: > I didn't explicitly call that out, but as soon as you have more than 4GB of memory, there's going to be an application that wants to use more than 4GB. So yes, 64-bit is necessary in my opinion. Especially when you consider the server market. I'm just saying I don't agree. There is a massive market very open to the power saving offered by arm that have no use for > 4GB process spaces. That doesn't mean there aren't markets where 64bit will be useful.
- sliverstorm 14y agoI think we are on different pages with the word "necessary". I am using it as "needs to exist as an option", and I think you're using it as, "needs to be used by everyone".
