![]() If you want to get down to the CPU bare metal, Most 64-bit processors still support 16-bit execution (see BIOS legacy which only runs in 16 bit mode).Įven beyond the day that Intel and AMD were to completely remove 32-bit support from their processors, Visual Studio will still have to continue support for 32-bit applications due to many older systems running legacy applications. ARM still has 32bit processors for sale (my company just bought a ton of them recently for new IoT devices) and Intel and AMD have no plans in the pipeline to terminate the 32bit feature set. ![]() However, in my opinion, this day is far off into the future. Eventually there will come a day where CPU's no longer support 32 bit just like there will eventually come a day where CPU's no longer support 64 bit.
