64-bit Raspberry Pi 3 OS

I have a Raspbery Pi 3 and am looking to use the 64-bit processor (if possible) that comes with it.

My question is: are there currently 64-bit operating systems for the Pi 3? I see that Raspbian Jessie was last updated on May 27, but there is no mention of 64-bit functionality.

I tried Googling to find the answer here, but I have little success with this method.

Now you can get SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for Raspberry Pi , which is a 64-bit OS. There is also documentation here .

There is also openSUSE Leap (based on this SUSE Linux Enterprise) and Tumbleweed (rental) available here . Both are 64-bit.

Yes, there are several 64-bit Linux for Pi3, for example Arch Linux.

The reason you want to use a 64-bit OS on ARM has nothing to do with DRAM addressing (32-bit Arm7a has address extensions that allow 1 TeraByte). The AARM64 architecture has many advantages over the AARCH32; DP full floating point in hardware, deeper SIMD / NEON vector, more registers. This is about twice as fast in dp-floatng point tests, but faster for cryptography. 64 bits probably uses a little more DRAM to execute.

Now you can get the 64-bit version of the IoT kernel for Windows 10 for Raspberry Pi. It was designated as Windows IOT Core Pro .
