Developers could build apps and projects that were 32-bit compatible. The 32-bit system could allocate multiple memory resources to various apps simultaneously.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For context, the 32-bit Raspberry Pi utilized <a href=\"https:\/\/simple.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Physical_Address_Extension#:~:text=In%20computing%2C%20Physical%20Address%20Extension,by%20a%2032-bit%20processor.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ARM Large Physical Address Extension<\/a> to open up to 8GB of memory. The extension allocated 3GB maximum, allowing the OS to distribute the remaining memory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The simple answer to why Raspberry Pi OS is 32-bit is it allows memory distribution to multiple processes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, another reason would be that Raspberry Pi OS is Linux-based. Linux OS supports a lot of older applications and hardware. It makes sense that the Raspberry Pi OS is 32-bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It makes it compatible with applications that only work with 32-bit OS systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But is it enough reason to switch from 32-bit to 64-bit Raspberry OS? Let\u2019s look at some Raspberry Pi 32-bit vs. 64-bit differences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"raspberry-pi-32-vs-64bit-differences\">Raspberry Pi 32 vs. 64-bit Differences<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The biggest motivation to switch or upgrade from Raspberry 32-bit to 64-bit is the promise of performance improvement. The first two reasons explain how.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"register-access\">Register Access<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The Raspberry Pi 32-bit can access 16 registers, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/hardwarehow.com\/arduino-vs-raspberry-pi-pico\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Raspberry Pi<\/a> 64-bit can access up to 32 registers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 32-bit system is okay for most applications and programs. However, you may need access to more registers if you run heavier apps, such as using the Raspberry Pi as a server.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More registers would translate to a performance upgrade.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"address-space\">Address Space<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Address_space\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Address space<\/a> is allocated to a process or a component connected to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellpcb.com\/computer-buses.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">computer<\/a>. In the 32-bit Raspberry Pi, user programs and kernel share address space. In a 32-bit system, 1GB is reserved for the Kernel while the remaining 3GB is distributed to user programs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Raspberry Pi 64-bit has wider address space, meaning you can commit more user programs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"software-compatibility\">Software Compatibility<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The base models of Raspberry Pi were built on 32-bit architecture. Older software can run on 32-bit Raspberry Pi systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you\u2019ll need a 64-bit Raspberry Pi to run 64-bit programs and apps. Those apps can\u2019t run on 32-bit infrastructure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"battery-life\">Battery Life<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>By now, it&#8217;s clear that 64-bit Raspberry OS requires more power than 32-bit Raspberry OS to run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although battery life depends on specific case uses, you\u2019ll notice shorter battery life in 32-bit vs. 64-bit Raspberry Pi.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"streaming-sites-compatibility\">Streaming Sites Compatibility<\/h3>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/hardwarehow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2-5.jpg\" alt=\"Men enjoying streaming services\" class=\"wp-image-2586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hardwarehow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2-5.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/hardwarehow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hardwarehow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/2-5-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Men enjoying streaming services<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it seems like a minimal difference, streaming site compatibility makes a big impact considering the present popularity of streaming sites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WideVine CDM, a protection service for streaming services, only runs on a 32-bit system on Chromium. Major streaming brands such as Disney+ and Netflix rely on WideVine CDM.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though there is a Chromium 64-bit version, Raspberry Pi 64-bit does not have Widevine CDM support. However, you can install a 32-bit version if you input the below code within the Terminal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"closedsource-application-compatibility\">Closed-source Application Compatibility<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Older 32-bit Raspberry Pi models can access open-source applications. However, they might be incompatible with closed-source applications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newer Raspberry Pi models with 64-bit OS are equipped to access closed-source applications.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8gb-ram-access\">8GB RAM Access<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll see this difference in Raspberry Pi 4 32 vs. 64-bit.
