That isn't true. Yes, on a 64-but processor, the 64-bit software will run faster than 32-bit software. However, that still leaves open the very reasonable possibility that the 64-bit processor can run 32-bit code faster than the 32-bit processor. It is more powerful in other ways besides the size of the numbers it crunches.
