Excellent article on what 64 bit in A7 means

[JulianL]

There's been a lot of very ill-informed discussions about what the move to 64 bit with the A7 actually means. I just came across an article that discusses it in some detail. The first part of the article isn't too technical and might help dispel a few myths that have been circulating. The article does get increasing more technical but for anyone with a bit of background on object oriented programming, garbage collection, etc it is a very interesting read.

The article, by Mike Ash, is here:
