In the next few weeks, Arm Holdings will disclose many new plans for the processor core supports 64-bit computing, a source close to the company said in Arm technology conference in Taipei. Arm's transition to 64-bit computing shows that companies are serious about making the processors (CPUs) robust to meet the needs of many businesses and consumers. Most personal computers today are based on 32-bit computing, while supercomputers, servers and other large systems that use 64-bit computing (memory management can be larger). More memory can improve performance significantly for those who are running multiple applications at once in any device.

Largest chip maker in the world, Intel, as well as rival Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has launched their chips for some 64-bit computing (both for servers, desktops and mobile computers). Both Intel and AMD chips are manufactured based on the x86 architecture, while ARM's chips are based on a completely different architecture. That means, x86 software should be rewritten before it will run on the Arm processor core. Today, chip designer Arm commonly found in mobile devices or embedded systems than desktops.

Arm's move to offer a 64-bit processor core will give partners more options to design products for more than the market (including servers), the source said. Arm processor core only design: customers and their partners (such as Marvell Technology) design that will buy these and turn them into chips. Arm has recently announced the latest CPUs, Cortex A15. A15 is also a 32-bit processors. The source said, Cortex processors will be announced next support 64-bit computing. However, the Arm has not officially disclosed anything about his plans for the upcoming chips.
