Michael Larabel tested this on a 4GB Raspberry Pi 400 and his results show that in graphic manipulation, AI, audio encoding, stress-ng, compression and many more tests, the 64-bit OS overwhelmingly proved better. What do the 32-bit vs 64-bit Raspberry Pi benchmarks say?Ī benchmark study has shown that the Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit is faster than the 32-bit in all tests but one. I also tested a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 with the 32- and 64-bit OS and load times for did not change. If the program you use often doesn’t have a 64-bit version, then you’ll see little benefit because you’ll still have to use the 32-bit version (for example, if you want to use Chromium to stream Netflix or other DRM content). So why do I say that these benefits are only “theoretical”? Well, it simply comes down to the other bottlenecks. Perhaps we should also note that the beta of the 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS came out at the same time as the release of the 8GB Pi 4 (May 2020). The real benefits will accrue to users who are using their Raspberry Pis as servers, Docker or Kubernetes hosts and other high-intensity uses like video encoding. With the new 64-bit OS, a single process can take up all 8GB. Previously, the Raspberry Pi OS used the ARM Large Physical Address Extension to access up to 8GB of memory, which had the limit of allocating each process a maximum of 3GB.
RASPBERRY PI OS 64 BIT
Theoretically, you should see a performance boost simply by upgrading to a 64 bit environment, and the benefits really accrue to the 8GB Raspberry Pi 4. So, 64-bit will absolutely unleash the beast, right? The main reason is practical: a 32-bit OS would run on all their devices, whereas a 64-bit OS would require them to maintain two OSes and could cause customer confusion. So, for many years, the newer Raspberry Pis have had a much more powerful processor that was running in a performance-restricted environment that is 32 bit. Perhaps the engine can do more, but the speed limiter won’t allow it. In my previous car, there was a speed limiter that governed it to about 210km/h.
RASPBERRY PI OS FULL
Unleashes the newer Pis’ full potential (theoretically) Benefits of the new Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit So yes, you can benefit or suffer from using the new Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit.
Let me just point out what Raspberry Pi says in their article about the new OS, “Let us know in the comments if your use case benefits (or suffers!) from the move to 64-bit.” So if most computers run on 64 bit, then the logical conclusion would follow that 64 bit is better than 32 bit, right? The computer that you are using as your main workstation is very likely 64 bit. 9 More questions? Raspberry Pi: choose 32 or 64 bit?
