Amd plans to remove drivers for 32-bit systems

It is increasingly difficult to find someone with a 32-bit installation of Windows, although there are still users of these versions so it is important that hardware manufacturers offer support. However, the end of 32 bits is getting closer and closer and is inevitable. Currently, there are rumors that AMD will announce the suspension of 32-bit driver support later this month.

AMD would announce this September the cessation of the development of drivers for 32-bit operating systems

After that period of time, you'll probably see some 32-bit versions for critical updates, just like Nvidia does with some drivers. This story, however, is based on Chatter, an anonymous Videocardz source stating that monthly support will stop. Given that it is within expectations, the news is quite credible.

AMD has limited resources like all companies, so eliminating the development of 32-bit drivers would free up a significant amount of resources that the company could spend on other tasks, such as offering even better graphics drivers for 64-bit systems, or assign more personnel to other departments of the company.

Currently all PC processors are 64-bit, so there is no compelling reason to stay anchored in 32-bit operating systems, except in specific cases where you need to use a specific program that does not work on 32 bits, something that is difficult to imagine today.

What do you think of the end of AMD driver support for 32-bit operating systems? Do you think that I should keep offering new versions from time to time?
