ARM Confirms: We'll see 64-bit Android phones This Christmas

Android 64-bit SmartPhones


ARM's executive
 vice president of corporate strategy, Tom Lantzsch, spoke to CNET and shared that the company has had a noticeable increase in interest for 64-bit mobile processors. More specifically, the 64-bit Cortex-A53 has received a lot of attention from device makers.


The interest was so high in fact, that it came as a surprise to ARM's executives in the chip design department. 
Lantzsch believes ARM and its Partners will be ready to launch Smartphones with 64-bit CPUs this Christmas, although that's as specific as he got. He notes that when 64-bit software gets released, products could change for the better


"We've been surprised at the pace that 64-bit is now becoming mobile centric. Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Marvell are examples of public 64-bit disclosures. Even existing 32-bit code will run more efficiently on [ARM's 64-bit] v8-A architecture than on native 32-bit ARM architecture"  - Tom Lantzsch, ARM executive and vp.
