Will x32 be better than x64?

…so the young man (not super technical) asks what is the difference between x86 and x64 and which one is better? After some very surface technical jargon, the customer service guy basically explains x64 is faster, bigger and better.  There is no explanation the old 286/386 aka x86 computer architecture where x86 comes from.  So the young man logically thinks to himself the number behind the smaller the number behind the x the better it must be.  So the progression must be x86, x64 and soon to come x32! Smiling and walking away the young man simply says I wait until x32 comes out around the holidays.

It made me grin and laugh to myself.
