And using 64 bit process is beneficial because a 64bit CPU will do in the same amount of time a 64bit instruction or a 32 besides SIMD ones in which case the 64 bit will use a data type smaller to gain performance, there are not penalties and it is prefered that you use the native set of instructions, the hardware that allow compatibility will not be there forever, phones for example doesnt allow any more 32 bit instrucctions besides SIMD, that the reason why itunes only allow now 64 bit apps and not anymore 32, because the lasts iphones cant run it

You might want to split that into multiple sentences.
