As this architecture has the capabilities to consume more resources.Īs mentioned, Login VSI is used and one of the key metrics is the VSImax. For this research, the expected result is a slightly higher load using 圆4. When testing scenarios like these there is always an expectation of the outcome. Our default testing methodology is applied which is described here. The desktops are running in a stateless scenario, so all changes within the desktop are discarded before the next test. The desktop delivery solution is Citrix Virtual Apps & Desktops running version 1808.2.
This has nothing to do with Microsoft Office but with the benchmarking tool used in GO-EUC named Login VSI.īoth test scenarios have been tested on Windconfigured with 2vCPU and 4GB memory.
#Office 2016 64 or 32 windows 10#
Microsoft already made the decision with Windows 10 to only provide 圆4 version and have dropped the x86. With the current processor architectures and the amount of memory consumed in device nowadays, it makes sense to switch to 圆4. It is still possible to switch to the x86 architecture.
#Office 2016 64 or 32 install#
Once you click install from the Office365 portal it will now install the 圆4 version of Office by default. Previously, the default setting was 32-bit at installation /gIqO8y1zbo- Jesper Nielsen January 1, 2019 Starting mid-january will start installing ProPlus and Office 2019 with 64-bit as the default setting. Twitter message from Jesper Nielsen (MVP): Microsoft announcementĪs mentioned in the introduction Microsoft announced they are switching the default installation to 圆4 architecture.
What is the difference between these architecture versions and is there any impact? This research will cover the performance impact difference between x86 and 圆4 of Microsoft Office. Within VDI deployments it has always been common to deploy an x86 version of Office. A couple weeks ago Microsoft announced the switch for the default installation of Office from x86 to 圆4.
