Is Amazon Fire TV Cube 32 bit or 64 bit that has better processor and performance

[zakaboy2000]

Hey guys, I just wanna know if it's way slightly faster that has already being compared to the Fire TV Stick 2nd gen with 32-bit processor and performance. Especially with Fire TV 1st gen and Fire TV Stick 1st gen that are 32-bit processor and performance too. Can you explain this, please? Cause I just wanna see the details for what's going on with the specs that has been released in 4 months ago.

Quad core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU up to 1.5GHz. Supports 32-bit apps.

Ever heard of "Google"?

Well, yes I have. And also, like I'm gonna say it again in a different way than the same, is there a CPU with 64-bit that's inside and uses 32-bit apps as well?

I know a bit of an old thread, but since I'm looking at some amazon fire tvs.

fire tv (gen 2) (note latest is gen 3) - Amazon AFTS (Android 5.1.1, API 22) - arm64-v8a
fire tv stick 4k (latest mar 2019) - Amazon AFTMM (Android 7.1.2, API 25) - armeabi-v7a
fire tv cube (latest mar 2019) - Amazon AFTA (Android 7.1.2, API 25) - armeabi-v7a

I'm surprised the older device that can't have OS upgraded is the arm64 bit arch!

If you look at the actual specs themselves, the SOCs for the 3rd Gen TV, Cube and the 4k Stick are 64-bit.
The OS/API itself is limited to 32-bit.

One explanation: https://androidpctv.com/comparative-mediatek-mt8695/
One can Google for more sources.

I think Amazon did this intentionally, so they didn't have to maintain an OS for two different architectures. Once they depreciate/discontinue the 2nd Gen Fire TV Stick, I bet they will migrate the entire Fire TV OS to 64-bit.
