What other smartphone had a 64bit processor until now?

forget smartphone here main thing is 64bit processor. They have just introduced it again not in computer but in smartphone

64 bit processor existed way back in 1970 s too.. Apple is just implementing it effectively. There is already 60 plus applications on my ipod and iPad, I see no lag or any kind of battery issues. Which I regularly come across people on android platform.

Huawei Ascend D Quad released Aug last year had 64 bit.

"While PCs now run at 64bit, most of our competitor's smartphones only run 32-bit processors. Huawei is proud to announce that its smartphone, the Ascend D Series runs at 64 bit."

Engadget writes this:
1.4GHz quad-core Huawei HiSilicon K3V2; 40nm, 16-core GPU, 64-bit memory
I am not sure how can they be running at 64bit when no one is manufacturing 64bit mobile processors right now. And there are no indications if Google has a 64bit version of Android.

However, things took a turn for the worse when subjecting the device to processor intensive gaming (we used EA's graphics-heavy Real Racing 3 in our tests) and frame rates slowed to a crawl. This is more than likely due to the now inferior 16 core GPU failing to cope with the increasing complexities of mobile games

LOL

ARM website seems to suggest that ARMv8 processors are capable of 64bit.
And these were primarily being designed for data centers?

Turns out ARM 32bit processors do not have the 3GB RAM limit. :

I don't u u understand this craziness for Ram. Imo a 2gb Ram is more than enough for a mobile processor

 

[Sushubh]

I am sure people said the same thing about Windows XP. 2GB is more than enough.
