While only offering limited benefit at this point in time (no software to utilize it, not enough RAM in mobile devices to matter), it was a bigger number. One that the competition simply couldn't offer, and one that essentially future proofed the 5s. Last week, Qualcomm's CMO Anand Chandrasekher shared his thoughts on Apple's new A7 SoC, calling the 64-bit capabilities as nothing more than a “gimmick”. Ouch.
