Where the design community meets.

Good to know. Some people told me 64-bit is not so great speed benefit as they advertise. What about multi-core?
What about multi-core?
Often that’s even harder to take advantage of than 64bit. Making the most of multiple cores can require huge structural changes, if you haven’t planned well for it. It’s worth noting that not all parts of an app will benefit... it’s usually just the heavy processing that needs to be split into different threads.

Designer News is a large, global community of people working or interested in design and technology.
Have feedback?
Yeah, but the difficultly is changing mountains of code that’s 32bit (often with no performance benefit). My point was that older apps are often harder to transition to new tech. Being older and bigger is a disadvantage in that situation.
