Today, most embedded systems still use 32-bit MCUs, as many companies find that they are sufficient for their applications today and in the foreseeable future. A few companies are starting to use high ...

64-bit apps on Windows on Arm are a work in progress: some are native, many work well with the new 64-bit emulation, but others will have to wait for more support in insider builds of Windows.

Hadoop can run on 32-bit ARM processors and it is expected it will be ported to the 64-bit architecture. However, there’s no support yet for popular databases like Microsoft’s SQL Server, IBM ...

On paper, getting x86-64 emulation into ARM is absolutely a big deal. Customers resist being stuck in situations where a piece of software they need to run might be incompatible with their processor.

Arm also notes that around 60% of apps are already 64-bit compliant. Most of those that aren’t 64-bit fall outside of Western ecosystems, such as Apple and Google, anyway.

ARM first launched the 64-bit ARM V8 architecture in 2011, providing the foundation for development of the 64-bit cores themselves. Those chips, the ARM Cortex A57 and A53, launched in 2012.

Microsoft announced today that the expected support for 64-bit x86 emulation on Windows on ARM devices has arrived, provided you are running Build 21277. You'll need to be part of Microsoft's ...

Microsoft has announced that 64-bit app emulation is coming to Windows on Arm next month. It allows users to run more legacy 64-bit Windows apps, such as games and editing tools.

Microsoft is adding x64 emulation at a critical moment. Apple recently released the first Macs based on its in-house ARM silicon, and they already run non-native 64-bit apps with relative ease.

The company has more than 100 employees in U.S. and Asia. “We will have 64-bit production product in 2014,” said Karl Freund, vice president of marketing at Calxeda, in an email.

ARM has been designing chips that support 64-bit software for years, but the company has also continued to support 32-bit code. That’s going to change in a few years. Kind of.

Findings from the Semicast study on the global market for 32/64-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) and embedded microprocessors (eMPUs) show that automotive and industrial (including medical) applications ...
