![Qualcomm, Nvidia And Broadcom To Produce 64 Bit Quadcore Processors Next Year [Report]](https://i0.wp.com/cdnrss.ubergizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/iPhone-5s-A7-chip-640x347.jpg?resize=640%2C347 "Qualcomm, Nvidia And Broadcom To Produce 64 Bit Quadcore Processors Next Year [Report]")
Ever since Apple introduced its 64-bit processor earlier this year with the iPhone 5s, there has been a lot of speculation about other manufacturers and their 64-bit plans. Samsung is reportedly going to start production of its 64-bit Exynos 6 processor early next year and according to industry observers cited in a new Digitimes report, Qualcomm, Nvidia and Broadcom are likely to roll out their 64-bit quadcore processors in the first half of 2014. Sources suggest that it is likely the chips might debut as early as CES 2014.
Despite the fact that manufacturers like MediaTek have been extensively focusing on octacore chips, the report suggests that Qualcomm, Nvidia and Broadcom aren’t likely to focus on 8 core chips in the near future. Since MediaTek has been focusing on 8 core chips, it is expected to launch its 64-bit processors in the second half of 2014. The three manufacturers have reportedly revamped their product roadmaps for 2014 as they expect rise in demand from smartphone vendors for 64-bit chips as they look to match the hardware specifications of Apple’s latest and greatest iPhone. None of the manufacturers have officially commented on their product roadmaps for 2014, it is likely that we’ll hear from them on this subject at or around CES 2014.

Years ago if gamers wanted to play games, they’d either have to be willing to drop a lot of money on a gaming rig or purchase a console, which at that time was considerably cheaper compared to building a gaming PC for oneself. These days PCs and their components are starting to get cheaper and it does not take too much money to build a relatively decent gaming computer to play games with, which has some believing that PC gaming will eventually take over console gaming. In fact it was several months ago that an NVIDIA executive believed that PC games’ graphics would soon outstrip consoles, and now according to NVIDIA’s Matt Wright, he believes that PC systems are considered to be the more “superior” choice when it comes to gaming.
Speaking to MCV, Wright was quoted as saying, “The PC platform is far superior to any console when it comes to gaming, plus you get all the extra functionality that a computer brings […] Steam now has more users than Xbox Live… There’s a huge community who love playing their games on PC.” Wright goes on to highlight games such as Minecraft and World of Tanks as examples of how some games on the PC are still popular despite being around for a while. We reckon there are merits to owning a console and a PC for gaming as they both offer different styles, and at the end of the day it really just boils down to personal preference.
