![]() ![]() You still get better compatibility with legacy components and software with 32-bit. As pointed out by OrangeDog: Much of this space consumption comes from the fact that 64-bit OSes ship 32-bit libraries in addition to the 64-bit ones. ![]() ![]() It's also quite a lot more once you uncompress the binaries. Just go download the ISOs for your favorite OS in 64 and 32 -bit flavors to see the difference. The age of your software matters, as newer builds take advantage of 64-bit stuff that older builds do not. But 32-bit does in fact occasionally win on some benchmarks. In the benchmarks I've seen, that efficiency tends to be be overshadowed by 64-bit's greater computational efficiency in heavy-computation environments. 32-bit can be slightly faster in certain use cases - the smaller addresses means sightly more compact code, which means greater cache efficiency. ![]()
