Sixty four bit processors have been with us since 1992, and in the 21st

century they have started to become mainstream. Both Intel and AMD
have introduced 64bit chips, and the Mac G5 sports a 64bit processor. Sixty-
fourbit processors have 64bit ALUs, 64bit registers, 64bit buses
and so on.
One reason why the world needs 64bit processors is because of their
enlarged address spaces. Thirtytwo bit chips are often constrained to a
maximum of 2 GB or 4 GB of RAM access. That sounds like a lot, given that
most home computers currently use only 256 MB to 512 MB of RAM.
However, a 4GB limit can be a severe problem for server machines and
machines running large databases. And even home machines will start
bumping up against the 2 GB or 4 GB limit pretty soon if current trends
continue. A 64bit chip has none of these constraints because a 64bit
RAM address space is essentially infinite for the foreseeable future 2^64
bytes of RAM is something on the order of a billion gigabytes of RAM.

With a 64bit address bus and wide, high speed data buses on the
motherboard, 64bit machines also offer faster I/O (input/output) speeds to
things like hard disk drives and video cards. These features can greatly
increase system performance. They can process data (very complex data
features lots of real numbers) faster. People doing video editing and people
doing photographic editing on very large images benefit from this kind of
computing power.

6TH GENERATION INTEL CORE I7 64 BIT PROCESSOR

The Core i7-6700 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Processor from Intel is the sixth
generation of the Core i7 product line that is now built using Skylake
architecture. This processor features a base frequency of 3.4 GHz and, as
with many Skylake technologies, it comes with features such as Intel
Turbo Boost 2.0, Hyper-Threading, and vPro. With Intel Turbo Boost 2.0
technology, the maximum clock rate this processor can achieve is 4.0
GHz. Additionally, this processor also features four cores with eight
threads in a FCLGA1151 socket and has 8MB of Intel Smart Cache
memory. Having four cores allows the processor to run multiple
programs simultaneously without slowing
down the system, while the eight threads allow applications to complete
tasks sooner by working in parallel. This processor also supports up to
64GB of DDR4-2133/1866 MHz and DDR3L 1600/1333 MHz RAM, has
integrated Intel HD Graphics 530, and has SSE 4.1/4.2 & AVX 2.0
Extensions, as well as AES New Instructions.
This Intel Core i7-6700 3.4 GHz Quad-Core processor is well suited for
users who are interested in general-use tasks, such as Internet browsing,
checking E-mail, document creation and editing, and multimedia
playback, as well as more intensive tasks that are able to benefit from
overclocking. This processor is also unlocked, meaning that it can be
overclocked past its maximum turbo frequency . However, overclocking
past the maximum turbo frequency is not recommended. Not only will it
cause the processor to run much hotter, it will also void the limited 3-year
warranty. Included with this processor is a CPU cooler.
