New boot firmware a step toward 64-bit Windows RT

2013-05-09 00:20:36| InfoWorld: Top News

A standards organization has created a boot environment for tablets and PCs that could potentially run a 64-bit version of Windows RT. The UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) Forum on Wednesday announced that its boot firmware specifications will now support ARMv8, a 64-bit processor architecture announced by ARM in 2011. ARM's processors are used in most smartphones and tablets, and chip makers such as Nvidia and Samsung are expected to release 64-bit processors for smartphones and tablets in the future.
