Hi, Since Apple A7 64 bit iphone came to the world, mobile industry started to catch up 64 bits CPU. And it becomes a marketing term to promote the product [1]. Not only mobile but also TV industry is joining this trend for giving their product more advertising point. Based on this direction I would like to know how FxOS is preparing for it and what benefit FxOS can get from 64 bits CPU.
Q1: Is Firefox ready for 64 bit platform like Win 64 and linux 64? (I think we already have release for 64 bits platform) And what is the downside or benefit compared to 32 bits CPU? (ex: memory consumption / JIT performance) Q2: [1] also mentioned the more important change on mobile chip set is from armv7 to armv8. And it needs some works to optimize codes for leveraging new instructions. May I know the status of Firefox optimized for armv8 64 bits? (ex: JIT, Graphics and SW Codes) [1] http://www.greenbot.com/article/2686007/why-you-will-and-won-t-want-a-64-bit-android-phone.html Thanks, Sincerely yours. ------------------------------------- Marco Chen Engineering Manager Connected Device, Firefox OS Devices Mozilla Corporation
