  • It's a larger chunk of data that can be worked on at one time if the CPU, software and operating system can deal with the larger word.
  • Generally, being able to manipulate a 64 bit value over a 32 bit value or smaller would increase the speed and efficiency of programs. However, this is not always true, for example, if you are doing math involving small integers that will never exceed 32 bits, then using 64 bit operators may actually be slower.
