Microsoft is in the process of discontinuing support for 32-bit apps on its operating systems and is pushing all developers to move to the 64-bit standard which will be required for Windows 11. At some point down the road I will write a feature about the aspects of 64-bit processing, multi-thread, multiple-processors, and multi-core processors, but that's better left for mini-series, not tonight (or this morning).īut 64-bit does mean that QuickBooks 2022 will be compliant with modern operating system standards, like Windows 11 (soon to be released).

multi-thread' process design-support are also at the core of performance, and while there is a lot more that can be said for the plus of 64-bit (which I will), it isn't a cure-all by itself. Other factors associated with 'the application' like 'single-thread vs. 64-bit, nor even the amount of RAM the application is supporting or has available to it. The 31% improvement occurred on a 400MB file when running the “Custom Transaction Detail Accrual Report.” 1 Of course they are first to note that individual results may vary.īut it is important to remember that 'performance' of any application is not simply dependent on 32-bit vs. prior QuickBooks Desktop (32-bit) versions using a 1GB average file size 1 their testing was made on the 'average speed improvement observed' when running a “Profit and Loss Detail Accrual” Report. Intuit says that their testing shows the new 64-bit QuickBooks 2022 platform provides enhanced computing power up to 38% faster performance based on lab testing vs. Now, with a 64-bit version of QuickBooks, the amount of RAM which the application can support will be far greater This should mean quicker completion of QuickBooks especially when running larger Company files. But even with 'tons of RAM' the 32-bit limitations of QuickBooks meant that the application itself could only make use of the RAM limitations which 32-bit Windows applications could address. We all know that QuickBooks has always been a 'RAM intensive application', old Murph has always told you to 'buy as much RAM as your computer could support and you could afford and one way or another he would help you make use of it with QuickBooks.' We have written numerous articles in the past about 'boosting' the amount of RAM QuickBooks would use on both the Database Server and your Application workstations. QuickBooks 2022 will have enhanced computing power which means that it can better utilize 64-bit processors found in most of today’s computers, allowing them to access over four-billion times the physical (RAM) memory of legacy 32-bit processors. Insightful Accountant really hadn't planned to discuss 64-bit QuickBooks until the actual product release, but since Intuit has 'let the cat out of the bag' I felt I had to at least address the issue today. saying "clients on older 32-bit computers will not be able to use the 2022 version, which requires a 64-bit compatible Windows operating system 1." and that QuickBooks will perform "up to 38% faster, (with) more reliable QuickBooks computing power (64-bit) 1." Slipped into yesterday's news about the new 'subscription only' versions of QuickBooks 2022, Intuit announced that 2022 would also be 64-bit compliant.
